Clicking on a link to a media file in Firefox is infuriating. Totem (which sucks) is the default media player plugin. It plays the file using the entire Firefox viewing area.
- It always stutters and glitches when it starts playing.
- There’s no way to rewind it and start over. If you’re quick, you can grab the slider and move it, but it just ignores the position of the slider and keeps on playing, no matter what.
- There’s no way to replay the file after it’s played once. The Play button is now grayed out.
- It always shows its extremely shitty visualization while playing sound files. No, you cannot turn it off.
And no, MPlayer is not any better.
