Could you please upload a .tga file (preferably a small one) that shows this
problem (using the create new attachement)

Comment 2

[Kevin Phillips]

Cannot upload tga file, the only one I generate are 1.8 megs, your file utility
only supports 300k.

Comment 3

[timeless]

targas typically compress well, zip the file up and attach the zip.

Comment 4

[Kevin Phillips]

Zipped the file is 800k and using rar compression it is 694k.

Are you able to supply a Talkback ID?

Comment 6

[Kevin Phillips]

I cannot provide a talkback id as talkback is not installed.

[e-mail]: why must a bug that has no testcase and no stacktrace and
is not triaged be fixed asap?

I'm unable to reproduce this with Firefox 1.0.6 or 1.5b2 and Quicktime 6.5.1.

Kevin - do you know what plugin is handling .tga files and it's version?

Comment 12

[Kevin Phillips]

I just tried it in 1.07 and the bug seems fixed. Don't know about earlier
version's and it looks like quicktime is handleing the plugin. I know when I
first reported this quicktime would NOT work with FireFox. I totaly forgot about
this until the recent flurry of posts in the last 2 days.

Thanks.
