Based on the temp filename, I'm guessing gecko-mediaplayer.. Might try
upgrading to a recent version, I can tell from the filename that it is
old, since cache files are now stored in ~/.cache/gnome-mplayer/plugin.
And then adjust the cache settings in gnome-mplayer.

Ask followup questions to on the gecko-mediaplayer mailing list.
