Hmm, so Mozilla still provides compatibility for oji java plugins, where 
firefox doesn't.
I just took a quick look at mplayerplugin source and can't find any references 
to PRThread. The plugin uses the provided top-level interfaces. Did you 
recompile the plugin?

I just installed it and it doesn't really work for me (opens a new window iso 
playing in the designated space, probably because I didn't compile mplayer 
using WITHOUT_GUI), but doesn't crash anything either.
I tried the apple movie trailers.
