I'd guess the crash is occurring in whatever plugin you have installed to handle
.MOV files

I use mplayer with mplayerplug-in.  Mplayer is able to play the mov file,
without crashing.
Should plugins be able to crash the browser?  Is this a bug with the plugin? It
doesn't appear to be one with mplayer.

> Should plugins be able to crash the browser? 

In the current plugin architecture, unfortunately yes.  There are bugs on moving
to a different plugin architecture.

Yes, a malfunctioning plugin can take down the whole browser.
That's bug 156493

mplayerplug-in crashes reported in bug 220674, bug 230582

Can you attach a stack trace ?
Start 'mozilla -g'
in "GDB>", type 'run'
when Mozilla crashes and you get back to "GDB", type 'backtrace'

can be dupe of bug 234423.

Got e-mail from mplayerplug-in author telling me it's fixed in CVS, will mark
WFM when next release is out (unless someone compiles CVS and report back).

Marking WFM to follow the CrashWeek effort:

Reopen if crashing with mplayerplug-in from CVS or post 2.50
