Firefox and gecko media player crashing

Hi, first post in the forum, hoping someone might know what is happening here.

Whenever I try to play a video in firefox using gecko media player, firefox crashes.
The output in xterm is:

 $ NPP_New called
process 2911: arguments to dbus_connection_get_data() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 5758.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

[1]+  Aborted                 firefox

I am running firefox (Gran Paradiso) version 3.0.10, and Gecko Media Player 0.9.5.
An example of the videos I am trying to play are here: http://www.rte.ie/news/

Any help appreciated, thanks.

I remember having this problem more than half a year ago, i haven't found a solution yet and just switched to extra/mplayer-plugin.

Ya, I might just switch to mplayer plugin. That worked ok for me in my last distro (ubuntu). Gecko seems fairly good though, it's a pity. Google doesn't give much help either.

Got rid of gecko, and switched back to mplayer, it's working fine.
If anyone knows what's going on with gecko let me know!
Thanks.
