I discovered that when I uninstalled "totem-Mozilla" plugin Firefox stopped disappearing. I could reinstall "totem-Mozilla" and go to a web page that had any Windows media files and Firefox would disappear.
I uninstalled "totem-mozilla" again and installed Mplayer and the media plugins and I have no more problems. I do not use Totem for any internet streams. It must be keyed to "totem-mozilla" -- Firefox just disappears on some links https://launchpad.net/bugs/83042 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
