I was wondering if anyone could tell me the "Opensolaris way" of adding plugins 
to Firefox in order to watch the various closed source codecs, such as 
quicktime and wma. I am fully aware that this is probably a legal nightmare to 
implement but I would like to know if there is a legal and easy way of 
accomplishing this? I think this is an issue that will quickly raise its head 
when the 2008.05 release comes out and something that a lot of new desktop 
users will be wanting to know. I can't really find anything relevant about this 
anywhere so any kind of info would be welcome.

Having used various Linux distros through the years I am used to jumping 
through all sorts of hoops to make this work. On Solaris (SXDE) I have 
previously been able to add multimedia codecs by installing mplayer from 
Blastwave and then compiling the opensource plugin "Plugger" 
(fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html). Is this the Opensolaris way?

Regards,
Jarle
