Some have suggested uninstalling and reinstalling the VLC media player: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.feedback.firefox/browse_thread/thread/a5d0e8baf5402036. It could also be that some other plugin in Firefox needs updated, like Adobe Flash player.

I'd also recommend making sure that you're up to date with the latest version of Firefox.
