Copy the two files in VLC_Installation_folder\mozilla

The plugin comes toghether with the standard install.
If you have a standard installation like me the following two files needs to be copied into the browsers plugin directory:
c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\mozilla\vlcintf.xpt
c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\mozilla\npvlc.dll

to for my example:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

Restart your browser and type in the location bar:
about:plugins

it now should show "VLC multimedia plugin" somewhere in the list.
If not, something went wrong.

IE uses ActiveX as their plugin which is completely different from the Mozilla used plugin model.
You can embed Windows Media Player to provide similar functions.

Can you play the file in Videolan standalone?

You also need to start another instance from Videolan which actually serves the file to your client.
I would suggest you to use "Streaming/Transcoding Wizard" under file menu to start with.
Then try your plugin.

Just a few corrections, mostly typos. Maybe handy to set autoplay to "yes".
VideoLan is currently at version 0.8.1. Maybe have a try with the latest version.
