A guy over on the Firefox newsgroup wrote me off list
with how to do it. I am waiting for his permission
to paste it over here.
Got permission, just leave his name off:
yes. i am using it myself.
from main menu;
Edit > Preferences > Applications
highlight "Content Type" you want to change, in "Action"
column, press up/down pointers, select;
Use VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 2.nn.n)
(in Firefox)
my system is CentOS 6.6, using firefox 24.8.0 and my 'vlc'
plugin is 2.28.6.
depending on your install of linux and 'vlc', the number will
be different.
I removed flash and restart FF. I tried loading a flv from disk and
it started VLC in a separate windows.
I also tried watching the Green Bay Packers highlights and got
mined in adds and spy utilities. (The Packer won, by the way.)

The details for Firefox 34.0.5, IA-32, are slightly different. I use
current production Firefox, not the SL ESR version.
IA-32 SL 6x .
1. Tools -> Add ons -> Plugins
Shockwave flash set to Never Activate in the menu choices
VLC multimedia set to Always Activate
2. Edit -> Preferences -> Applications
search for flash and use VLC (that may appear as "default" in some cases)
Before I did both of these steps, Firefox (after a quit and activate)
refused to use VLC, but does now
except for the situation as follows.
I tried the URL below:
http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/help/en/flash/index.html
The test Adobe Flash Player Test did not work, with the diagnostic
message: Flash not running.
I think it is because the site is specifically looking for
the flash plugin
The test Adobe Flash-Video Test forced a download of a FLV file that was
then opened and handled by VLC .
Does anyone know why the first test failed and how to get around the
issue with VLC ?

Hi Yasha,
I have flash player removed from my system (rpm -e). After
disabling my Flash Block plugin, setting VLC to Always Activate,
and restarting Firefox, I could get this flash video to
play (had to restart Firefox first, or I only got audio).

Got this to play too, but I am not sure it is flash.

I do believe it all depends on whether or not the site is
specifically checking for Flash. I could be wrong.
