User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Instead of using the system wide installation of the flashplayer plugin, Firefox
attempts to use Apple's Quicktime application to play it. I have tried
reinstalling firefox, uninstalling quicktime, and reinstalling the flashplayer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. point Firefox to http://www.foamytoons.com/curr.html
2. wait a moment
3. see that apple's quicktime has taken over and cannot display the file. you
see a broken filmstrip.



Expected Results:  
used the installed flashplayer plugin to display the shockwave file.

Open quicktime.
Edit -> Preferences -> Quicktime Preferences
Choose browser plug-in
Choose mimetypes
You want to uncheck Misc -> Flash file.

Not a mozilla bug.
