User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050430 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050430 Firefox/1.0.4

http://netcenter.netscape.com/netcenter/ and others using Quicktime.

In Firefox, 1.0.4 and  1.0+, the page displays a Quicktime "Q" with a question
mark over it instead of the normal content which is displayed by Safari and
others.  (Mozilla 1.8a2 also fails to properly display the page, although,
interestingly, Camino 0.8.4, 20050427 properly handles the page.).  The problem
has occurred since the installation of Quicktime 7 in OS X v10.3.9 and did not
appear in OS X v10.3.9 with Quicktime 6.5.2.    

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch Firefox.
2.enter "http://netcenter.netscape.com/netcenter/" in URL window
3.Enter "Return"

Actual Results:  
The page appears as a Netscape header with a large blank space below with a
Quicktime logo "Q" with a "?" over it.  Firefox fails to render the normal content

Expected Results:  
The page should be displayed with a mixture of images and text.

Subsequent experimentation seems to indicate that it may actually be a Flash
Player issue.  I am unable to determine whether the cause of the problem is with
Firefox or with Flash Player itself or with a problem in the QuickTime 7
installation, but reinstalling Flash Player appears to resolve the immediate
problem.  

Suggest simply closing the bug if nothing is being investigated.
