Weird, now I have totem works with firefox3 and it was built with  
firefox2. I am not sure what has happened, but when I was working on new  
USE_WEBPLUGINS[1] and I reinstalled totem to use it. I accidented have  
USE_WEBPLUGINS to install all browsers even include linux. However, the  
totem plugins work perfect in firefox3 without get firefox3 crashes. It  
does not happen before. It's possible that 2.0.0.16 has fixed or something  
else that got fixed. But, you can try to reinstall totem with firefox  
2.0.0.16, then copy totem plugins in your ~/.mozilla/plugins to see if  
it's fixed for you too. Or maybe it was fixed in Firefox 3.0.1. I am  
clueless at the moment.

I am marking totem with plugins works with gecko18 and gecko19 in MC  
ports-stable. The MC ports-stable isn't complete ready, so I will giving a  
head up when it's ready.
