90464 - Quicktime Plugin requires manual re-initialization once a mpeg file is played.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 90959

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

QT plugin installed, and configured to play mpeg files.
Goto URL.
Click "Start" under one of the images, or click one of the images.
This should start loading a mpeg file.
Now go back and click another.
Result: No response, which actually is no refreshing in the window.
Workaround is selecting Help|About Plugins and then going back to the URL via Go 
menu. This seems to re-initialize the plugin.
Seems to be related to bug 87397 and bug 87287.

In the case of mov files at http://www.apple.com/trailers/ ,
Mozilla reports that plugin needs to be installed when a movie link is clicked 
after another has been played.
About Plugin is effective in this case, too.

Windows Media Player plugin also requires manual resetting by about:plugins in
2001071708 trunk.
