I opened Firefox Add-ons and looked at the Plug-ins. Firefox says the DivX Web Player is in need of a security update. How do I update this? I clicked the button but nothing happens.

Windows assumes the user is an idiot.
Linux demands proof.

Re: how do i update DivX Web Player? - Firefox says it's vulnerable
Indeed, trying the official "check for updates" does not help.Originally Posted by nrundy
Moreover, on https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ the URI for getting to an update page is missing in the DivX Web Player case.
about:plugins reveals that for Linux this player is in fact Totem: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libtotem-mully-plugin.so
and similarly for the QuickTime Plug-in, VLC Multimedia Plugin, and Windows Media Player Plug-in.
So the way to update any and all of them appears to be to update totem.
Yet currently Ubuntu 12.04 LTS still ships version 3.0.1, while http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/totem/ offers 3.6.
