Hi,
if you open an .avi file Totem should offer to install the right codec.
If this isn't the case you can use Synaptic, search for 'gstreamer' and install plugins from "bad" and "ugly" set.
e.g.
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad ##universe/libs
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg ##universe/libs

Note: the attribute bad+ugly doesn't mean the quality of the package, it's more likely a paraphrase for non OS software.

To check other Totem plugins search within Synaptic for 'totem'
e.g.
totem-gstreamer
totem-mozilla

To check if and which plugins are activated in firefox type in the url bar:
about:plugins
