if all else fails, just remove the binary-plugin you don't want.

the file is: mplayerplug-in-rm.so
it's probably under /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins

if you are new to the mplayer plugin, expect mozilla/firefox to crash
after using it, sometimes when not even playing a vid.
