I start Firefox, mplayer immediately starts to spawn and die.

I got it to stop by changing the permissions on the mplayer plugins to
400.  That broke some of the pages I was browsing to (re: couldn't play
embedded media), so restored the permissions and used the one Windows
way: rebooted.  All is well now.

Having to reboot to fix a problem is quite perplexing.  I thought I left
that shit behind many years ago (I've been using Linux distors since RH
7.2).
