Today, I have changed totem to only support gecko18 because I have found  
depend on what page in www.apple.com/trailers will causing Firefox 3  
crashes. While other pages doesn't get crash. I don't know why, but I  
shall search in google for this problem sometime tonight or tomorrow when  
I get break from USE_WEBPLUGINS. The mplayer-plugins works better for  
Firefox 3, btw.

I don't think it has to do gstreamer. It's more like totem plugins.
