So after much troubleshooting I've finally upgraded to Lucid. (I hate empathy but combined with the applets its actually kinda nice).
After upgrading though I realized that I could no longer watch ninjavideo. So, in order to get it working again (steps have changed again):
1) Uninstall totem-mozilla
To do this the simply open up terminal (Hit Alt+F2 and type in 'gnome-terminal', then hit enter)
In terminal run the command 'sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla'. Then type in your password when prompted (note: you won't see stars to indicate letters in your password, this is normal)
2) Install java (Note: I'm no longer using sun-java. Using the opensource version)
The easiest way to do this is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
In terminal run the command 'sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras'
3) Install gecko-mediaplayer
In terminal run the command 'sudo apt-get install gecko-mediaplayer'
4) Install greasemonkey
And thats it. Now simply navigate to ninjavideo, open up the applet (let it run when the security dialogue pops up) and navigate to any video. :D

I get "Invalid operation ubuntu-restricted-extras"
when I run the command 'sudo apt-get install gecko-mediaplayer'
1) Ninjavideo is now down for good, so this guide is useless.
2) Do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? Just run 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' before trying to install gecko-mediaplayer.
