That's a bit OT but: Does the VLC plugin not depend on an installed VLC Player?

Yes, I know that.

I there no way to save this plugin in the Firefox-profile directory and let QuickTime search there?
This way, I just could start FF with something like <My-Firefox-Path-on-the-CD-ROM>/firefox -profile <My-Profile-Dir-on-the-CD-ROM> <HTML-file-to-be-displayed>.

Hm, but I guess that leaves me with the problem on how to get Firefox with builtin Java-support, doesn't it?
