This plug-in needs to be enabled in OOo (Tools->Options->Internet->Mozilla Plug-in->Enable) in order to work with Firefox. It works well with Firefox, although it doesn't work with Opera by default. I have found on the Internet that mozilla's plug-in could be copied to opera's plugin folder. I tried to do this, but the plug-in didn't work (operapluginwrapper: [plugin failed ] dlopen failed on /opt/opera/lib/opera/plugins/libnpsoplugin.so).
OOo plug-in could possibly open rtf, csv and MS Office MIME types, but that needs to be configured manually in the browser's preferences, as these MIME types aren't asigned to OOo by default.

Mozplugger + Timidity |
audio/mid audio/x-midi audio/midi
|
It seems that there is a problem with playing midi files on Linux as no major media player (mplayer, vlc, gxine...) supports this MIME type. There are no special plug-ins for playing midi files within browsers, too. I have found a workaround for Firefox. It is a bit tricky and doesn't seem to provide any functional controls. Opera needs mozplugger.so copying to it's plugin folder.

This plug-in works fine with Firefox. However, it has a few issues with Opera. The user must click on the control window to activate it and until then only black window instead of document is shown. The actual document sometimes doesn't show up even after clicking on it several times. It finally shows up only after reloading the page.

Mozplugger + Evince |
application/postscript
application/x-postscript |
I could not find a dedicated plugin for Firefox/Opera, but I have found a workaround for Firefox (needs to be adjusted depending on an operating system). Opera needs mozplugger.so copying to it's plugin folder. It seems that Evince has it's own mozilla plugin, but it's not included with Evince and I could not find where to download it. |

It works well with Firefox and Opera. It supports almost every audio/video format. However, I could not find any list or description of OBJECT tag parameters.

It works only with Firefox for me and in Opera it displays a black window instead of a embedded video. It seems to not work if there are several embedded videos on the same page: "(no video)" is displayed in a black background. This plugin doesn't provide any controls (even no play, pause, stop). |
autoplay (autostart), autoloop (loop), mrl (src, filename), mute, visible (showdisplay), volume
The list of parameters with descriptions you can find here. They are for IE plug-in, but I believe they should work with this plug-in, too. I could not find any other OBJECT parameters list.

Abiword, Koffice |
x-abiword

x-kword

I could not find any plug-in for Firefox or Opera that could handle Abiword or Koffice files. |

Mozilla Tiff Plug-in |
image/x-tiff
image/tiff
|
It needs to be manually compiled on non-deb systems. |
- |
Firefox/Opera (native support) |
image/svg+xml |
It is handled internally in Firefox/Opera. There's no need for a plug-in. |
- |
FreeWRL Plug-in |
model/vrml
x-world/x-vrml
|
It works only in a full-screen mode (not embedded) for me. If I open an embedded VRML image, it just crashes the Firefox and displays an error message. It doesn't crach Opera though, but displays the same error message. The program works fluently in a stand-alone mode. |

DjVuLibre Plug-in |

Works perfectly with both browsers (and probably even more). |
Here are embedding instructions. |

model/iges
model/mesh
text/calendar
text/x-vcalendar
text/x-vcard

I could not find any plug-in that could open embedded files of these MIME types. |
