User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008010205 Minefield/3.0b3pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008010205 Minefield/3.0b3pre

happens with minefield and firefox 2.0.0.11
programs, kept crashing once ANY quick time video started loading once a message telling me there was an update available for quick time appeared, when i updated and the message disappeared, quicktime then worked fine again with no crashes.

apart from when, you run a quick time video and click "about quick time plugin"
this will start opening but then cause firefox to crash, the same way as the update message did.

quicktime plug-in 7.3.1 and a version (not sure what one) before.
(i have tried re-installing the plug-in)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.load any quick time video 
2.click the menu button on far right
3.click "about quicktime plugin"
Actual Results:  
starts to open then, crashes, windows gives a message saying firefox needs to close and asks if i would like to send an error report

Expected Results:  
the about quicktime plugin should have opened

seems to be whenever it tries to open a certain type of window within the browser the fault occurs.
happens whenever update window decided to appear.

Please provide a Talkback ID for 2.0.X or a Breakpad id for 3.X

This is a dupe but near every reporter seems to be unable to provide necessary information for a crash (TB/Breakpad id)

The brakpad and talkback stacks are just :
QuickTime.qts@0x88b50e  	

That means IMHO that the quicktime plugin itself crashed.

I tried a QuickTime video at
http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/nationaltreasurebookofsecrets/nt2_teaser_large.html

About window appears without crash.
Fx 2.0.0.11
Fx 3.0b3pre/2008010211
QT 7.3.1.70

I had crashes with the previous version but after the latest release didnt saw any.
Try uninstall and delete all QT files in plugins directory, then install latest version.

btw the about dialog says "uickTime is a registered trademark of Apple Inc." :)
