Firefox 10 ESR causing Quicktime 7.6.6 plug-in to fail on Mac OS 10.6.8

We have upgraded a number of our machines from Firefox 3.6 to 10 ESR.
Firefox will now hang / crash when trying to load a quicktime movie in the browser.
This only happens on the 10.6 machines

I found the steps here...seems to work so far:

Firefox 5 has caused so many problems, I want to uninstall and go back to a previous version. how?

firefox 5 has caused so many problems, I want to uninstall and go back to a previous version. the problem is that one of the issues 5.0 has caused is an error message when I click on "add or remove " on my control panel, so I can't remove Firefox 5. I have downloaded and run 3 supposedly good "fixers", but nothing has corrected my error issue. how can I uninstall 5.0 if I can't open the "add or remove" option? edit

''I figured it was going to be FAFSA causing your problem.''
Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all. <br />

When and where can I get the firefox 31 ESR beta?

The current beta download on http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#beta is v30.0b9, is that it? (if so, why not v31.09b?) (Also, my platform is Linux)

The current Firefox ESR version is still a Firefox 24 version (24.6.0).
It usually takes about a week for the next beta to appear, so this might be the case for the Firefox 31 ESR version.
You can keep an eye on this folder list to see if anything about esr31 will appear:

Firefox 4.0 and QuickTime 7.6.9 don't get along

I had Firefox 3.5.5 and QuickTime 7.5.5 installed, mostly to just watch the trailers at the Apple site. I updated both to Firefox 4.0 and QuickTime 7.6.9 and the videos would no longer load. The site itself responded well, the trailers played in IE 8 and QuickTime videos I had on my computer played. As far as I know I had everything configured properly. I loaded a backup of my system with the old settings and all is well again. So either there's a problem with Firefox 4.0 or QuickTime 7.6.9 or with the two together with my specific setup. I have trouble believing that this issue is unique to my configuration.

Nevermind - just downloaded QT 7.6.4 separately and it works just fine now.

I have a Quicktime video posted on my website. It plays perfectly in Safari but won't reload in Firefox unless I clear the cache. I have Firefox 4.0.1, Quicktime plugin 7.6.6 and Quicktime Pro 10.0..

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Ensure Firefox / Thunderbird ESR 31 support

Currently, Beehive 2.0.1.8 is certified to run with Firefox /
Thunderbird ESR 17 release
Upcoming Beehive 2.0.1.9, being the last premier support release,
should offer Firefox / Thunderbird ESR 31 support.
Therefore, please second our enhancement request for Beehive 2.0.1.9 through Oracle My Support:
Bug 20101650 - REQUEST TO HAVE FIREFOX / THUNDERBIRD E SR 31 CERTIFIED IN BEEHIVE 2.0.1.9
Thanks and regards, Thomas

Firefox ESR site wrote:Who is it not for?
Individual users who always want the latest features, performance enhancements and technologies in their browser
So... not for Arch users then, I guess.
IMO ESR is incompatible with the Arch approach, so I'd be surprised if it ever turns up in the repos. The AUR, however, would be perfect for it.

Pro Tools files imported to FCP X causing QuickTime movie problem

Well 2 days later and hours on the phone with Apple tech support Senior Advisors, and problem still not solved. HELP.
Everything works fine in FCP X, but when I create the QuickTime movie, it is way out of sync (by many seconds).
We have isolated the problem to audio files that I am exporting to Pro Tools, processing, and then importing back into FCP X. I can create a QuickTime movie with the original video/audio and it is fine.
Information
The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
I simply provide this FYI. As I said earlier, the original video works fine and the resulting QuickTime movie works fine. So the original files imported into the FCP project are not the problem.
The creation of the problem audio occurs as follows:
- Detach the original audio from the original video, and export
- Import this audio into a 48.0 kHz/16-bit Pro Tools HD session and EQ/limit the audio
- Import the resulting audio into FCP X (exact same length file, audio waveforms aligned with the original audio).
This audio works fine in FCP. It is in sync with the video, everything looks great.
I ran Pro Tools at 16-bits because a senior advisor told me FCP runs at 16-bits but does not convert imported stand-alone audio (as opposed to combined video/audio) to 16-bits; thus the Pro Tools session had to be at 16-bits. I changed from 24-bits to 16-bits, and this didn't solve the problem. (FYI, when Pro Tools imports the original audio exported from FCP, it says the audio is 24-bits, not 16-bits).
What is the problem?
The basic question is why does this audio cause QuickTime a problem?
Something is going on in the conversion to the QT movie. In FCP X, I don't have a way to play with the conversion variables except to set "Video and Audio" and "Use current settings" (which is ProRes 422).
The only difference I see between the original audio and the Pro Tools audio is that the original audio is stereo and Pro Tools works with dual mono files (L & R). The mono files work fine in FCP and I can't imagine why QT would have a problem with these, but I haven't tried converting the files to stereo before importing into FCP.
I should also mention that I selected the stabilization and roll correction algorithms in FCP. I assume these don't create problems in QT. I mention this because I didn't use them when I tested making a QT movie with the original video/audio files.
FCP and Pro Tools are used together all the time to do exactly what I am doing......improve the sound of the original audio. They are the premier video and audio professional programs. Of course, the final product is often not a QuickTime movie, but many times it is a QT movie.
What the heck is going on???
HELP.

(1) It is immediately out of sync. It even appears to be speeded up to me initially, but this is subjective. But it is clearly out of sync throughout, not a gradual drift.
(2) When I create the audio files in the Pro Tools session, the files are automatically stored in the audio folder of the Pro Tools session. So I don't actually have to go through an export process. I just close the Pro Tools session, then open FCP X and import the audio from the Pro Tools folder.
I'm not sure what additional specifications you seek, other than:
- wav files
- sample rate = 48 kHz
- Bit rate = 16-bits (and earlier I used 24-bits)
- Files are dual mono, rather than stereo (name_01.L.wav, name_01.R.wav). As I mentioned above, I have not yet tried converting these to stereo before importing into FCP, to see if dual mono causes an issue with QT. It does not cause a problem in FCP. I will try this today if we don't solve the problem.
(3) I can upload a portion of the audio to a server and send you a link to the file so you can download it. Is there a way to private message on the forum so I can get an email address to send you the link?
(4) The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48 kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
The FCP Project was set up at:
- Starting time code - 01.00.00.00
- Format - 1080p
- Resolution - 1920 x 1080
- Frame rate - 29.97p
- Audio channels - stereo
- Sample rate - 48 kHz
- Rendering format - Apple ProRes 422

Xul drag and drop function doesn't work Firefox 17 ESR but works in Firefox 10 ESR

I am having a problem with a xul drag and drop function designed for selenium rc and selenium IDE. It works in Firefox 10 ESR but does not work in Firefox 17 ESR.
the code used for the draganddrop function is added below:
Selenium.prototype.doXulDragAndDropToObject = function(locatorStartElement, locatorEndElement) {
var startElement = this.page().findElement(locatorStartElement);
if (startElement.wrappedJSObject) {
startElement = startElement.wrappedJSObject;
var endElement = this.page().findElement(locatorEndElement);
if (endElement.wrappedJSObject) {
endElement = endElement.wrappedJSObject;
var dropValue;
var startTreerow = getAncestorsByTagName(startElement, 'treerow')[0];
var treeCells = startTreerow.children;
for(var i=0; i<treeCells.length; i++) {
var val = treeCells[i].getAttribute('value');
if(val) {
dropValue = JSON.parse(val);
if(dropValue) {
endElement.drop(dropValue);
The is the error message I received when the draganddrop fails in FireFox 17 ESR:

hello, your question conatins a few issues...
*if you want to use the regular release version (firefox 18.0.2 at the moment) and not a beta version, then please download the setup file from getfirefox.com & install it on top of your current installation
*when there is a folder named "old firefox data" on your desktop, then you've done a [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset of firefox]] which had reset most of your preferences to the factory default & removed all extensions. if you want to revert that, go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information'' and click on ''profile folder/show folder''. a windows explorer window should open up. now close all open firefox windows and replace all the contents of your current profile folder with the data that is stored inside the "old firefox data" folder on your desktop.
*the plugin check website isn't working at the moment - so the problem you're seeing here isn't on your end. hopefully this will be fixed soon on the server-side...

Where is the Firefox 24 ESR changelog ?

Call me an idiot, but I can not find the changelog for Firefox 24 ESR.
Plenty for the plain Firefox 24, but that is not what I need. I need the full changelog for 24 ESR, compared to the last release of ESR.

Thanks for the info. Not happy to hear that though, it seems really odd not to have such a thing for a major release.
Unfortunately this is in line with information I received elsewhere, which basically claims that the ESR branch has only been created to appease the rapid release cycle opposition, and that Mozilla does not support the concept with heart and mind, but actually tries to keep this thing hidden as much as possible in order not to encourage it being used in favor of the regular version. :-(

Appscan Manual Explorer Firefox 17 ESR Plugin 602 fails to work on OSx

We recently upgraded our Appscan Enterprise Server to 8.6.0.2 (Fix Pack 2) in order for the IBM product to support Firefox on the desktop. IBM stated the upgrade will allow us to use Firefox 17 ESR, which is the highest supported Firefox version (Currently we use Firefox 19).
Firefox 17 ESR works fine if you are on a windows desktop with it installed. However, on OSx it does not work. The Appscan Enterprise Console requires the plugin and attempts to install, which it does, however Appscan continues to ask for it to be installed. So the plugin loads in FF 17 ESR, however the Appscan product apparently cannot detect it.
IBM Support claims that FF 17 ESR is not supported on the OSx platform. Our developers largely use OSx, not Windows. They certainly don't use IE ;).

The plugin support is interesting - here is a link to the IBM tech page on the Firefox 17 ESR plugin for Appscan:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21623462
Any reference to platform is specifically about Appscan Enterprise, and not what OS the browser is running on when accessing the Console.
IBM Support said that it is not supported on OSx. This is fine, if that is the official position which I did not get from the context of our conversation. That is why I took a shot at posting the issue here, hoping that there may be some way to work this out.

Firefox 20.0 causes error message with my site

My company has a support portal for our customers. The portal requires a log in then the user is taken to a frames based page which has a menu bar in the top frame and a resource (e.g. Knowledge Base, Report an Incident) in the lower frame. Firefox 20.0 causes the lower frame to display the server error message "Error Code: 500 Internal Server Error. The pipe is being closed. (232) ". The web site is running IIS 6.0. Earlier version of Firefox work fine as do the latest version on Chrome and IE 9.

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
*Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
OR
*Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
*Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
Let us know if this solves the issues you are having.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

No Reload/Go/Stop combination icon in Firefox 10 ESR

I've installed Firefox 10 ESR on Windows XP. The documentation says that if comes per default with the Reload/Go/Stop combination icon in the Navigation Bar but I do not have this icon in my Navigation Bar.
When I open View -> Toolbars -> Customize, the combination icon appears in my Navigation Bar, but it disappears when I close the Customize window, and the combination button is not a choice in the Customize list.
How can I get the combination icon permanently into my Navigation Bar ?

Look at the image below and read the instructions about "Separate buttons are possible" in my original reply. The buttons are not in the "Customize Toolbar" window but the Stop and Reload buttons are separated out of the right end of the Address bar when the "Customize Toolbar" window is open. The Go button (arrow) will remain associated at the right end of the Address bar.

Do Quicktime/iTunes Post logs anywhere when they fail to load?

running on macbook with bootcamp and XP pro SP2.
having issues starting both of them and i figured if i had some sort of error logs to post i could get more help.
thanks.

I don't know of any log files for launch failures, but you often get error messages, the full text with any error numbers would help.
I don't know anything about your particular configuration so I doubt I can provide detailed help, but there is a general help article on troubleshooting iTunes launch probelms here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
But iTunes can't work if Quicktime doesn't, so if quicktime doesn't launch you need to sort that out first.
A couple of things to try - uninstall Quicktime using the method here (just the Quicktime bits)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Then download and install the stand alone version from here (option 2)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
If that doesn't work, do you have any extra Codecs such as ACE or K lite Mega Codecs they may cause Quicktime problems?

Quicktime 7.4.1 plug-in crashing on streaming audio

the quicktime 7.4.1 plug-in seems to be crashing in Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2. It crashes everytime the embedded player attemts to unload or load a new stream. The whole browser crashes. Are there any settings I can tweak? The plug in works fine on Mac OS X

Hi Corey,
You posted to my topic "Quicktime Player 7.4.1 Not Playing Most Web-based Content" indicating that your problem is the same as mine. In reading over your topic I would like to clarify a few things. I broke your original topic posting into 4 parts so it's easier to discuss each separately. Below each I have given my best interpretation of what I believe you are saying. If I got it wrong let me know.
1. +Hangs interminably on opening web link yields huge question mark+
I open Safari. I have the default URL (web page) set to a site which plays videos or Safari opens normally and I then try to view a web page which contains a video. The video embedded in that page fails to play via the Quicktime plug-in. Instead Safari shows a box with a "Q" in it where the video should be, and after 10-20 seconds a large Question mark appears.
2 +No web files will play (e.g., Apple movie trailers).+
My problem appears to happen with every video I attempt to view. Sound files, text and other web page components appear to work as they normally did.
3 +Have purged all QuickTime elements, have reinstalled, etc. No help.+
I stripped out every component (.plist. plugin, application, etc) I could find in HD/Library and HD/Applications which had the word "Quicktime" (and maybe just "QT") in their name.
4 +You can drag and drop movies on my drive to the program, and it will play them, however.+
When I drag and drop a movie from some folder on my drive onto the Quicktime application's icon, Quicktime starts up and plays the video just fine.
