Description

Firefox crashes every time trying to play

Sometimes it crashes immediately, sometimes near the end of the clip.

It uses the quicktime plugin 6.4

WFM: Fx 1.0.7 with QuickTime 6.5.2. 
Reporter, could you try upgrading QuickTime to see if that solves your problem? 
I believe the current version is 7.0.

I have quicktime 7 pro installed, but the latest plugin is 6.5.1. Where do I get
a newer plugin?

Comment 3

[James Rome]

Well, I upgraded to QuickTime 7.02 (in spite of my quicktime claiming it was the
latest version), and about:plugins shows it there (both 6 and 7). But when I try
and play this, I get a missing plugin message and a requirement for Quicktime >
5.0. So now I am hosed.

I deleted all the quicktime plugins, and uninstalled 1.07 Firefox, and then
reinstalled it and the new Quicktime, and now it seems to work.
