No, about:plugins does not list it.

For your firefox, try rm -f ~/.mozilla/firefox/lock.  It may be that a new
process is reusing the same pid.

I tested epiphany, and the plugin is shown in about:plugins, the video is
displayed and there is no error popup, but the video plays much too fast.  I
think that's related to the new totem, and not epiphany, as it happens even
when I play the movie using totem standalone.

Once the plugin is working again in Firefox, I can test using a clean
profile and see if that helps.
