Hi Petric,
as far as I know the VLC browser plugin allows you to play back media using
VLC. However in my opinion you don't need that. Firefox has its own
playback backend and hence it can play back media without the VLC plugin.
So I think you shouldn't run into any issues if you don't use npapi-vlc. To
my understanding Firefox bundles its own codecs unless specified otherwise
through USE flags.
Regards
Thomas Schmitz
