[olug] WINE or VMWARE?

[Eric P]

FYI. In (k)ubuntu, the Firefox plugin package is mozilla-mplayer

I think it comes from the Universe or Multiverse repository.  Also, you probably need to install the w32codecs package
so mplayer will be able to display QuickTime video.  I might be missing something.
