Hi Petric, |

as far as I know the VLC browser plugin allows you to play back media using |
4 |
VLC. However in my opinion you don't need that. Firefox has its own |
5 |
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 |
8 |
my understanding Firefox bundles its own codecs unless specified otherwise |
9 |
through USE flags. |
