Realplayer, etc. problem in firefox.sh (1.5.0.7)

Hi,

I posted a related (and now solved) issue on the "updates and patches"
forum, but now I've encountered a new, small and odd problem.
After updating to 1.5.0.7 via YOU ,if I launch Firefox from the
firefox.sh -script as one is supposed to, Firefox does come up now, but
every time I go to a page with .rm streams, I get the error message (thrice)

"Could not find an appropriate hxplay or realplay in the system path to
use as an embedded player."

The weird thing is that if I use the "firefox-bin" -binary, realplayer
works fine. I know the very basics of bash -scripting, but the firefox
script is beyond my league, and I'm not sure if it is the real problem.
Also, "firefox -h" creates the error message below. (as you can see the
helps do emerge, but something goes horribly wrong in the middle)

I'm using SUSE 9.3 on a 64bit AMD. I have updated firefox normally
through YOU and it worked fine up and till 1.5.0.6; only the last update
broke it. I've also reinstalled firefox, and renamed the ".mozilla/"
directory to (almost) no avail.



This is what I get from "firefox -h"
