Got permission, just leave his name off:

       yes. i am using it myself.

       from main menu;

             Edit > Preferences > Applications

       highlight "Content Type" you want to change, in "Action"
       column, press up/down pointers, select;

            Use VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 2.nn.n)
            (in Firefox)

       my system is CentOS 6.6, using firefox 24.8.0 and my 'vlc'
       plugin is 2.28.6.

       depending on your install of linux and 'vlc', the number will
       be different.

I removed flash and restart FF.  I tried loading a flv from disk and
it started VLC in a separate windows.

I also tried watching the Green Bay Packers highlights and got
mined in adds and spy utilities.  (The Packer won, by the way.)
