Comment 1

[Douglas Godfrey]

Quicktime 6 installs QuickTimeH264.component in /Library/Quicktime
Quicktime 7 installs QuickTimeH264.component in /System/Library/Quicktime 
and does not remove the old version file.

Remove Quicktime 6 components left behind in /Library/Quicktime and the
video plays properly.

Not a bug in Firefox, correcting resolution.
