gecko-mediaplayer kills previous OK working flash video support in Firefox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have working Firefox with Flash videos (libflashplayer v10)
2. Install gecko-mediaplayer (with yum install)
3. Try to use Firefox to open some web page with Flash video, for example
YouTube. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I was able to see flash videos before. Flash (libflashplayer wrapped with
nswrapper_32_64) plugin was working.
Now it shows flash plugin would not be installed and won't show any Flash
videos, for example on YouTube.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Linux Fedora 10 x86_64, 
flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386, 
nspluginwrapper-1.3.0-2.fc10.x86_64, 
nspluginwrapper-1.3.0-2.fc10.i386, 
gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.5-1.fc10.x86_64, 
mplayer-1.0-0.104.20090204svn.fc10.x86_64, 
gnome-mplayer-0.9.5-1.fc10.x86_64,
mozplugger-1.10.1-3.fc10.x86_64

Please provide any additional information below.
gecko-mediaplayer-plugin works better than mplayer with mozplugger, so
that's why I would want to use it. However, gecko-mediaplayer has
registered also Flash videos to itself (seen in aboput:plugins), which is
not working. Flash-plugin 10 with nspluginwrapper has worked OK, so would
want to use it with flash contents.

So how to remove bindings in gecko-mediaplayer for video/flv and
video/x-flv MIME-types?

Ok, couple of suggestions here... 

First, I have flash and gecko-mediaplayer working together,no problem so I know 
it is
possible.

1. Get a 64bit flash-plugin, I know it is beta version, but it works great
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

2. mozplugger and gecko-mediaplayer sometimes fight over mimetypes, recommend
removing mozplugger

3. Since you are 64bit clean with 64bit flash, dump nspluginwrapper (it 
interferes
with javascript support)

4. gecko-mediaplayer may grep video/x-flv and video/flx, but flash mimetypes are
actually application/x-shockwave-flash and application/futuresplash, so there 
should
be no problems with youtube.

OK, thanks for suggestions.
I tried that 64-bit flashplugin few months (?) ago when it had been released, 
but it
had too many bugs then to be usable.
Now got their latest (alpha) release and it seems to work OK with 
gecko-mediaplayer.
So dumped the nspluginwrapper, which was also previously needed for Sun Java 
support,
but Sun also has have their 64-bit javaplugin ready for some time.
