I never got this to work.  And one thing to note.  The MPC addon doesn't
handle flash correctly.  It intercepts flash files, but then you have to
associate an application.  If you say firefox, then it opens another
window, which opens another window, etc.  MPC should just ignore flash
(and other types that firefox handles directly).  So, since you can't 
use a browser without flash these days, I had to disable MPC.  Not much 
of a loss since I never got it to do what I wanted anyway, but that was
probably due to a problem somewhere else.  In any case, this seems 
doomed.  Maybe Solaris 11 will be better.
