The problem with mozplugger is that there exists no way to make it pretend to be QuickTime and Windows Media Player the way mplayerplug-in does. This means that it cannot be used to view websites that auto-detect which plugins you have and adjust content accordingly, such as http://movies.yahoo.com. The mplayerplug-in docs say mozplugger must be uninstalled when using it.
