    How to listen to live radio through firefox

    hi everybody
    actually I installed the Fedora 10 after and I want to listen to Live radio station and I think I need to install some plug-in that related to Media Player even though the plugin is installed in firefox but it doesn't want to work. As I'm a newbie user on linux in general so I hope anyone kindly direct me to step by step on what shall I do exactly
    I got a software plug-in from this website kdekorte.googlepages.com/gecko-mediaplayerkdekorte - gecko-mediaplayer but I don't know how can I install it actually they didn't reveal a way of installing this plug-in

    This is the website that I want to listen to but the Media Player doesn't work.
    rfi.fr/


    I'm looking forward to direct me to solution. By the way I can listen to this station through Windows XP but as I like to change the OS to Linux Fedora so please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you happen to know which plug-in you are missing?

    Type about:plugins in the Firefox address bar to see what plugins you do have installed.

    Gecko-media player is most likely in the Fedora repositories. Have you looked?

    Try
    Code:
    su -
    yum install gecko-mediaplayer
    Your problem may be that Fedora doesn't support playing mp3's out of the box.

    For Fedora 10, follow jayd512's link to the install guide and install the rpmfusion repository, then you have a choice of media player. You can use gecko if you like, or as an alternative, you could try vlc which has a mozilla plugin (i.e. it works with Firefox). vlc can play pretty much anything except Flash content. There are lots of other media players you might want to try too, I recall there being a xine plugin and an mplayer plugin.

    The other player you'll need is Flash - go to the Adobe site and install their own repository (follow the Flash download links), you want the RPM repository for Fedora. You can then install the flash plugin through your package manager.

    Do you have more than one version of KDE installed?
    kdelibs3-devel-3.5.10-1
    kdebase-workspace-devel-4.3.1-1
    It seems to me that you have KDE 3.5.10 and KDE 4.3.1. I'm thinking that something is going to break if you remove kdelibs3-devel-3.5.10-1 so you won't get that error. Did you upgrade from KDE 3.5.10?
