I think it's reasonable to add all supported browsers as
mozilla-mplayer dependency. If the user doesn't have supported browser
installed, what's the point of mozilla-mplayer on his system?

I'm thinking on any browser that can make use of mozilla-mplayer. But,
as I said before, that situation is very rare. There are not that many
browsers out there, which would be added, so the previous example is
not that important.
