Change or add the program to open the clicked file and make it the default application which opens the file. eg. pdf files can be opened with xpdf, evince, kpdf or adobe reader to name a few. In the same way, video files can be set to open with different players. For firefox, install the adobe reader plugin or copy the *.so file to .mozilla/firefox/plugins and it should work. I don't know whether evince has a plugin for firefox. Hope that helps. -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
