    sorry, it seems I also needed some coffee: pine sent the unmodified reply...
    No, I'm not looking for where FX3 gets its plugins, but how it chooses the one
    it will use: in your list, you have totem and mplayer plugins: which one
    will be use?

    I have totem, mplayer and helix plugins. When I keep only one of them,
    (removing all others), Fx3 actually opens the remaining one, which proves
    it is able to do that.

    When I re-install the 3, it opens mplayer, but I would like to use helix, as
    in that case it's the only one which works. How to do that?

    according all my tests, it seems that it is not an input file for FX3,
    but an output file: It doesn't care of any modification  I do, and
    overwrites it.
