I've upgraded to firefox 4/snow leopard and now my .avi's won't play using the quicktime plugin. What am I doing wrong?

I'm unable to play .avi's in Firefox 4 that worked fine in Firefox 3. I just get a blank page. I've also upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (prior to upgrading Firefox) since the last time I viewed them.
I'm serving these files from my local harddrive so the url starts with file::
I believe these were displayed using the quicktime plugin. Firefox reports my current quicktime plugin as version 7.6.6
I need to get this working because I'm giving a talk soon, and I've been using references in my talk pdf to link to the movies.
======
Just checked, and my movies play fine in Safari. Crud. I'd rather not have to switch to Safari as my default browser. Yuk.

Update: Turns out this is only a problem when the .avi is stored locally and served locally. I uploaded the file to a server and then pointed Firefox there. In that case it displays just fine. Weird.

  • I upgraded my imac to snow leopard and now every time I click the mouse I get the spinning wheel of death

    One morning a week ago I got the "White Screen Of Death" and my desktop imac wouldn't load so mac support told me I had to erase my history and upload imac again. We went through every senario to get it to work to no avai. I had a snow leopard disc so I uploaded that as well. In the last few days I click on my mouse and I get the "Spinning Ball Of Death" most every time I click. It lasts for about 5 - 20 seconds every time. I am not a "techie" at all. Is there any way to stop this. I am not sure what could be causing this. I erased my browers cache on Safari and that didn't help. I also turned the comp. off then back on and that didn't work either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Step by step how to's? I am not totally ignorant in computer speak but not an expert by any means. Thanks!

    Greetings,
    What do you mean by "events to update"?  Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
    Troubleshooting:
    1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
    2. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • I've installed snow leopard and now my MX860 won't scan

    I've recently installed snow leopard and now my Canon MX860 won't scan.  I've reinstalled the scan driver from the Canon website.  Any other ideas?

    I suggest that you open Print & Fax, select the MX860 under the scanner heading and remove it using the minus button. Then, still in Print & Fax, click the plus button to add the scanner again. The Add Printer browser will appear and with the Default icon selected the MX860 should appear as a printer and a scanner. Select the scanner entry and ensure the Print Using menu changes to Canon MX860 series. Click Add to complete the creation of the new scanner queue. Now test the new scanner by selecting it in the Print & Fax > Scanners list and then pressing Open Scanner.

  • IPhoto says it won't import photos from my Fujifilm Finepix S1000 camera because it's the wrong format (jpeg).  It always has before... but I upgraded to Lion then went back to Snow Leopard and now it's not working.  Suggestions?  Thanks!

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

    I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal.  Except I don't know where these are coming from or why.   I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically.  Any Clues?  Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

  • Upgraded To Snow Leopard And Now The Mic Is Not Working

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now my mic input is not woking on my 2 year old MacBook Pro. Can you tell me how to fix it?

    Dainis,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You haven't provided much information so there is no way for us to trouble shoot your issue. I'm guessing you plugged a mic into the port, if so go to manufacturer of the mic's web site and see if that device is Snow Leopard compatible. Otherwise our hands are tied on how to help you.
    Regards,

  • I installed snow leopard and now videos on my Xfinity home page won't play

    I installed snow leopard and now videos on my Xfinity home page won't play

    You may be in the same boat as me.
    I deliberately bought a refurb Feb 2011 MacBook Pro, because it would have originally shipped with Snow Leopard. I have to run an application for my job, which does not run under Lion.
    Unfortunately, Apple is now upgrading all Snow Leopard machines, before selling them as refurbs. I purchased a legal copy of Snow Leopard, and have tried various downgrade solutions that I found posted on the net, without success. No matter what I do, it always goes into "three beep mode" after trying to install Snow Leopard.
    The latest development came this evening, while I was talking to the "geniuses" at Apple. Apparently, there is now a firmware revision that loads the first time you run Software Update under Lion, and it locks the machine so that it can't revert to Snow Leopard.
    The only option they have been able to offer me so far, is to return the machine and get a refund. This is maddening, as I HAVE to have a Snow Leopard machine, and can't find any other way to purchase one.

  • Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11.  If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11?  And will it run on Snow Leopard?

    Re: New Garage Band - I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and Garage Band 11.  If I download/install the new GB, will I lose GB 11?  And will it run on Snow Leopard?

    then had to find out (same as with this issue) that I presently have other software that will not run on Maverics.
    You could create a clone of your drive with all your current software, so you could continue to work with your Snowleopard software by booting from the clone, and upgrade your main system to Mavericks, if your computer supports Mavericks.    This way, you could have both, if the new features of Mavericks are interesting to you -  e.g-, iCloud syncing of multiple Macs, new sharing features, and for GarageBand automatic drummers and arpeggiators.
