[SATLUG] Configuring a browser for streaming video

I have some .avi files out on a web site I manage that I want to play
properly from my browser.  When I do:

mplayer http://myurl...

Everything works as expected.

When I set up my browser (seamonkey, formerly known as mozilla), it
insists on downloading the entire file before launching mplayer.  For
these files, it takes a few minutes to do the download and I'd like to
get it to start playing without that delay.

Does anyone know how to set up a browser for streaming?
