Firefox 5 on Mac is not loading the QuickTime X or 7 plug-in

I have a colleague who can't play QT content within Firefox 5, but it does play in Safari and Chrome. Both Quicktime X (/Applications) and Quicktime 7 (/Applications/Utilities) are installed.
When I view the Plug-ins from within Firefox (Tools/Add-ons/Plug-ins), Quicktime isn't even listed. The plug-in is physically in the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder as you would expect.
Suggestions?

Thanks for your suggestion.
I followed your link and was able to get a list of installed plug-ins.(''see image below'') But couldn't follow how to how to delete Flash 8.
So I downloaded Adobe Flash uninstaller for the purposes of getting rid of Flash 8 and ran it several times. It got rid of Flash 10.3, but not Flash 8.
I tested on the Adobe Flash site, and it says that Flash 8 is successfully installed. So as far as I can tell it should be working.....unless the uninstaller took away some mysterious crucial part of the program.
I've tried to use finder to locate "Flash 8" - but can't find it using that name. In the "Internet plug-ins" folder I have something called "Flash Player.plugin.old" 4.5 mg. Is this the Flash 8 plug-in? Can I just delete it?
I also have Adobe CS 3 Flash installed. Don't want to mess that up in case it's related.
I am still crashing even though I only have one Flash program now.
This is my latest crash report: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/555a1f5f-21e6-4419-850f-46ca92110701
Thanks in advance!

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

Firefox does not fully load Barclaycard Authentication site. It loads as far as asking for certain letters in my pasword but does not load the "Submit" button so I cannot continue with my purchase and have to switch to IE8 browser to purchase anything ov

Firefox does not fully load Barclaycard Authentication site. It loads as far as asking for certain letters in my pasword but does not load the "Submit" button so I cannot continue with my purchase and have to switch to IE8 browser to purchase anything over the internet. Any clues?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Couple of weeks ago

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is totally messed up by another program that you installed, and Barclays doesn't know you are using Firefox 3.6.6 - it probably looks like IE 6.0 to that website.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
Then restart Firefox

Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all the tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session, irrespective of what has been entered in "Options". The browser is running in Win 7.0 64-bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides the security functions. There are certain "cloud" solutions also running such as Google Drive, Box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves similarly in all my machines (the setup and OS is similar to the one described above) and no amount of resetting of "Options" seems to affect it . Nor is it affected by the manner Firefox is closed. It is obviously a bug that needs to be fixed.

u wait for firefox next update
otherwise
1. go to firefox tab .
2. click on help ->trouble shooting information.
3. reset ur browser .
ur problem is solved

Firefox is not loading the requests and invites on the right side of the Facebook home page. AOL is loading everything correctly.

Firefox in not loading the "requests and invites" on the right side of the Facebook Home Page. I don't think it is a Facebook problem because AOL loads it correctly. This is the third day I have had this problem. I don't like to use AOL because it is much slower. Please help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I opened Facebook three days ago

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Safari does not load the website

Hi,
I am running MAC OS X 10.4.7 using Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3).
Ever since I started using this computer (1 week back) Safari just does not load the pages. The website that I am trying to load is http://www.apple.com/startpage/ or the default page of Safari as installed. This also happens with many other pages.
The browser starts loading the page and the blue bar just stops mid way and nothing happens post that. I have waited for almost 20mins for it to load, however that never loads. If I press the Stop button, I do see the partial HTML thats loaded in the browser, but the page never loads completely.
My internet connection is fast, since I am able to load the same page or any other page in FireFox with no problems.
Can you please support me with what to look at to resolve this problem?
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi! Yes I have experienced similar difficulty with Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). Although I am using Safari to browse this site now, it does seem prone to reject some sites. When it works it work beautifully. There must be a gremlin glitch in there somewhere!
All I can suggest that that you switch to another browser such as Netscape 7.2 or Firefox to resolve this issue as and when it happens.
Happy surfing!

Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223

As far as I can determine, Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (identified on the Plug-ins list as "Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223") when I access most of the pages on the MSN website. Whether it will display any specific video is unpredictable but it displays about one out of five.
If I place the mouse cursor on the blank black video display area (for which no controls or buttons are displayed), and click the right mouse button, then either (1) the context menu is the same as for clicking the mouse cursor on an empty part of the page, or (2) the context menu is not displayed at all.
Apparently, Firefox has failed to load the plug-in, but does not display any error message. Neither is there any error message displayed by the plug-in.
If you think I am willing to undertake a trial-and-error odyssey through various "do this and see what happens" recommendations in "Knowledge Base" articles and the like, then think again. I don't have the time to make the effort, and I will use Internet Exporer instead. It ought to work with MSN just fine. :-)
Since I did not develop Firefox, this is not my problem to solve. It's your software, not mine, and I didn't make the mistakes, so you fix it.
By the way:
Either Firefox Help does not display the version correctly, or your Troubleshooter doesn't obtain the data correctly. Help says version 33.1 and Troubleshooter says 33.0. YES I KNOW THAT FIREFOX 33.1.1 IS AVAILABLE. SO WHAT?
Troubleshooter also identifies the Shockwave Flash plug-in as "15.0 r0" but the native Add-ons feature identifies it as 15.0.0.223 -- which is the version that Adobe uses.
The last line of the Troubleshooter's "educated guesses" just has "* 5.1.30514.0". I have no idea as to what that refers to and I doubt that anyone else would have one either.
Well, maybe those numbers are good enough for "educated guessers" but in my experience computers do not make "educated guesses" even if software developers do.
Enjoy!

Please refrain from posting scattergun boilerplate suggestions.
Please post specific instructions that will resolve the problem. If you don't know why the problem occurs and how to remedy the problem, then don't bother.
Realize that the problem did not occur with the previous version of Adobe Flash Player, but began after it was updated to 15.0.0.223. So it is is apparently specific to that version, and it may reflect a flaw in Adobe Flash Player. There's no way to actually report it to Adobe. Posting a report in their "user forum" just produces replies like the one that you have posted in reply to my OP, so what is the use?
Evidently you presume that Firefox does not have a bug, that something else doesn't work and you may be right. However, if Firefox does have a bug, then nothing that you have posted will correct it, and experimenting according to your boilerplate will be nothing but a waste of time and effort.
Again, the problem is not that Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 does not run, but that it does not run when I attempt to view most of the videos on MSN. It does display videos from YouTube and other websites with an occasional specific exception. If the failure occured on more websites, and with all MSN videos, then maybe your suggestions for investigating it would have more merit.
For what it is worth: the problem occurs in Firefox Safe Mode and without Firefox Safe Mode. Disabling or enabling any extensions or other plug-ins has no effect.
I established that while investigating why Firefox 33.1 started producing crash reports every time that it initially displayed the New Tab page when I visited MSN (Firefox 32 did not do that). I also checked whether the actions that I took to troubleshoot that behavior affected Adobe Flash Player on MSN. They didn't.
Apparently the crash reports occured because Firefox could not find or could not load the "thumbnail" images for website pages that I had previously seen (they are often deleted by ''CCleaner''). The crash reports stopped after I made a couple of changes to the configuration for the ''SandboxIE'' sandbox in which I run Firefox.
Frankly, Firefox "Safe Mode" is something I don't need, because I run Firefox in a ''SandboxIE'' sandbox, which is a much more comprehensive security measure than anything implemented by any specific application. At the moment I don't recall whether Firefox Safe Mode is enabled, although I probaby re-enabled it after disabling it during the crash-report investigation. But it didn't make any difference with regard to Adobe Flash Player in that context, so there's no reason to repeat it.

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

CS6 photoshop message 'could not load the fast core routines module because the file was not found'

my CS6 photoshop is giving me the message 'could not load the fast core routines module because the file was not found'. this started happening after i used a trial of photoshop CC and decided not to stay with it. my photoshop is part of my CS6 suite and i am only getting this message with photoshop, my ilustrator keeps working just fine..... does anyone know how to fix it? thanks.

I did a search on my system and found the Photoshop has a fastcore plug-in. Creative Cloud includes a subscription version of CS6 version 13.1.2. I do not know if you installed that or not. The cc un-install may have done something. You may need to use Adobe Cleaner then Install The Perpetual CS6 version of Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6 Mac or Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.1.3 PC and not the subscription CS6 extended version 13.1.2. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 If you need to download the CS6 installer Download CS6 products.
You may also be able to recover your cs6 using an old system backup

A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan

Could not load the Multiprocessor Support module because it wont work with

Here is a strange error message, there are actually 2.
But they arent making PSE 8 unusable, just very annoying.
Here is the first one,,,,,,,,,
"Could not load the Multiprocessor Support module because it wont work with this version of photoshop."
When I open PSE 8, on my new Intel Mac, I get this message and nobody seems to know what the problem is.
My new Mac has 2 processors? Could that be what the message is saying?
But when I click the error message away, PSE 8 works fine.
There is another one too,
"Could not load the FastCore Routines module because it doest not work with this version of photoshop."
I just click it away and no problem, just a pita.
So if they dont effect it, I shouldnt worry, but my classmates are concerned.
Do you here have any idea what it is, and how to get rid of it?
There is info on the web about it, but no solutions.
Thank you,
Jane

This is interessting, as does my new Mac have 2 processors or 2 cores? I havent come across how this works yet, nor how to find it on my Mac.
Yes, I just found a site which explains it well,
http://macperformanceguide.com/Optimizing-Cores.html
I have one processor with 2 cores.
And the equivalent of the Task Manager is the Activity Monitor, where I see only one processor.
You sure explained this well! I now think we can find the problem, though its not effecting either my PS or PSE, its just an annoying message that I have to click away.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407809.html
Is what Adobe tells us, this is for Windows, but it could apply to Macs?
I have tons of third party plug ins, and this problem is within the last month, and I didnt see the error messages before. Thats confusing, as I would have thought it would have shown up right from the start.
I just moved some of my plug ins, lets see if this changes anything, nope, but only one message appeared this time.
This will be fun to see what the real answer is! As I find out more, I will add it here.
Thank you,
Jane
