I've installed the latest versions of Quicktime & Macromedia.  When visiting
sites  which contain Macromedia Flash content (www.foxnews.com & www.nba.com)
Mozilla treats the content as if it was QuickTime content.  I've uninstalled
both programs and have reinstalled them.  I have isolated the issue to WinXP Pro
SP2.  I have no problems win WinXP SP2.  Netscape 8 & IE 6 handled the content
properly, which indicates that the programs are installed correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit site containing Flash content.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Described above.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the Flash content instead of the QuickTime icon.

You can set up which file extensions/types the QT plugin should handle, for that
see the QT control in the control panel of Windows.

i've found that if you rename the plugins folder in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox to something else, then restart firefox, that this bug resolves itself, try it for yourself, then goto these testpages to check if both quicktime & flash are working fine

No reply from reporter.

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

(Would have been "Incomplete", now is) R.Invalid.

Reopen if you can reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9.
(or Firefox v2.0.0.14.)

Probably because the QuickTime plugin (files) is in there !?
