sounds like Chrome broke something.. please open an issue with them. I tested 
it here
and there are extra error messages that are emitted as to why chrome does not 
load
the plugins. The same plugins load fine in Firefox.

Chrome is blacklisting gecko-mediaplayer due to a bug in Chrome. I have talked 
to the Chrome developers and they are looking into the issue.

mmm... I heard people say it crashes a lot with chrome thats why they blacklist 
it. Speed is not the only thing in a browser. Firefox is not as fast but at 
least things work. I am already back to Firefox

gecko-mediaplayer crashes alot in chrome due to a bug in chrome having to do 
with the gtk_main_loop. And until they fix the bug they will continue to 
blacklist it.
