It's possible that they don't support Mozilla.

Do you see the plugins in help/About Plugins ?

As bug 161505 comment #2 states, you can copy nppl3260.dll (do a search on your
HD) to your mozilla plugin directory and type about:plugins in your URLbar
afterwards to reload plugins. That worked for me.
Bug 164980 links to the upcoming solution for that problem.

Did you really search bugzilla for your problem before reporting this bug? A
quick search for "real plugin" gave me 67 hits, more than half of them seem to
be exactly your problem...

pls make sure that the required plugin dll's are in mozilla's plugin folder.

Both RealOne and WMP play when selecting
Bern Baby Bern
Bernie Williams recaps his game-winning blast with ESPN's Jeremy Schaap.
Standard | Cable Modem

I selected "Standard"

Please do check that you have the plug-in installed and the associated dll/xpt
files are in the plugins directory

Tested using the 2002093010 build on win2K
