As per another email in this thread, I'm not talking about Flash, but
mostly (solely?) about certain types of audio content; sorry if I've
misled anyone. Take this page (Hebrew):

http://www.iba.org.il/gimmel/?entity=869508&type=269&page=248

Clicking the little red headphone-with-emanating-sound-waves brings up
this message:

"You must install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.

Click here to download and install the plugin.

Or click here to view the content directly in your Windows Media
Player."

Clicking the second link invokes gecko-mediaplayer with a normal stream
url.
