Subject: [gentoo-user] how does one temporarily disable a firefox plugin
Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2007 21:02:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <yu98xenxaea.fsf@nyu.edu> (raw)

I have a stable x86 gentoo system with firefox (bon echo) 2.0.0.1) and
totem 2.16.4.  According to about:plugins totem is to handle mp3 files

I am trying to download an MP3 from "The teaching company" (they have
lectures on various subjects).  The actual button pressed invokes some
javascript.

The result is that totem generates an error msg namely
  Totem could not play 'fd://0'.

I would like to temporarily not have totem handle the mp3s, but I was
unable to see how to do it.

I strongly suspect that unmerging totem (and remerging when done)
would work but was looking for a less drastic method.

Thanks,
allan
