I installed the plugin, and helixplayer (hxplay).

I don't really know any sites that uses Realmedia these days, all the
rage is flash nowadays. So I tested cbsnews.com, with interesting
results.

Without the plugin, both Firefox and Seamonkey loads cbsnews.com fine.
I can't watch the videos (of course) because I don't have a player
installed.

With the plugin, my browser (both Firefox and SeaMonkey) exits upon
loading the front page (my guess is that it crashes when it tries to
load the video part). No core dump, nothing in /var/log/messages, it
just quits.
My system:
