I can confirm it. Using 8.04 (upgraded from 8.04) and totem-xine.
Although, I think this happens in earlier versions of Ubuntu. I would
like to give some details of what I have found:

The Totem mozilla plugin does not honour the gconf keys that control the
usage of the visual effects when playing audio streams. When you disable
the visuals from Totem then the /schemas/apps/totem/show_vfx key becomes
false. But if you go and play an audio stream within the browser, then
the totem mozilla plugin still uses the effects.

Obviously, it does not check the /schemas/apps/totem/visual key either,
in order to decide which visual to use.

I have found that the plugin checks the ~/.config/totem/xine_config file
instead. There are the following lines inside this file:

# frames per second to generate
# numeric, default: 14
effects.goom.fps:15

# goom image height
# numeric, default: 240
#effects.goom.height:240

# goom image width
# numeric, default: 320
#effects.goom.width:320

# colour space conversion method
# { Fast but not photorealistic  Slow but looks better }, default: 0
#effects.goom.csc_method:Fast but not photorealistic

The strange thing it that Totem also uses this line to remember the size
of the visualizations (but not the type). If in Totem the type of the
visualizations for example is changed to oscope, i.e.
/schemas/apps/totem/visual is oscope, the lines in
~/.config/totem/xine_config don't change, they stay the same, e.g.
#effects.goom.width:320, etc.

Thus, I assume a solution would be to make the above lines obsolete and
create a new gconf key for the size of the visual effects that both
Totem and the Totem Mozilla plugin will honor. Also, the plugin
obviously should be made to honor the /schemas/apps/totem/show_vfx gconf
key that sets the visual effects on/off.
