    Your link was luckily prominent on the first search page by google … and the problem is solved. Thanks! What’s the advantage in selecting Mozilla Plugin though … could you advise? Cheers!

    • admin

      Thanks Prithvi.If you select mozilla pluign at the time of installation then it will install a vlc plugin for mozilla firefox also and it will support to play media files inside your browser.So it’s good to select that.
