265640 - Firefox acts as if Quicktime plugin is missing when I view Quicktime ad

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Plugin Finder Service, defect)

Description

[J. J. Ramsey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I go to http://www.winbackrespect.org/ads/, and click on the dark grey,
rectangular button labeled "View Quicktime" to view the latest ad. Firefox pops
up a new small window, as it should, but instead of playing Quicktime in the
little window, it displays a message at the top saying "Additional plugins
required to display all the media on this page" alongside a button labeled
"Install Missing Plugins . . . ," and a white box with a graphic of a puzzle
piece saying "Click here to download plugin." Clicking on either the "Install
Missing Plugins . . . " button or the puzzle piece labeled "Click here to
download plugin." causes Firefox to act for a few seconds as if it were
installing Quicktime, only to display the message "Additional plugins required
to display all the media on this page," etc.

The ad plays just fine in both Mozilla and Opera.
