    I have flip4mac, and im using firefox and it works perfectly fine for me. Have you actually installed flip4mac, or are you just going by what the plugin info says?

    If you havn't installed it, install it, and it should play perfectly fine.

    The makes of flip4mac have different bundles available. Microsoft has a download here

    The official website has the different package information here, you can see that the free version can playback media fine.

    And macupdate has the free verison for download here.

    Google is your friend for all of this.
