Getting media to open in Quicktime Player, not inside the Firefox window

I have this strange issue where any media files want to open inside Firefox with the QT plugin, regardless of what I have selected for the MIME settings in the Quicktime preference pane.
I mainly want the m3u files to open in the separate QT player, because it's annoying that when I preview music in eMusic Firefox loads it up in a new page and I have to click Back to get back to the album's page, and I have to wait until the preview has finished otherwise it stops.
I've tried in Safari, and it works fine. eMusic's m3u files open up in QT instead as I want. It seems to be just Firefox that's not recognizing my QT preferences. I've tried quitting and reopening Firefox to no avail. At least I can work around it by opening the preview links in tabs.

"there's no option to add stuff to
the list."
Yes there is!
Click on the "View & Edit
Actions" button.
The next window that opens up, scroll to whatever
plug-in you want to change-Quicktime Plug-in.
Click the "Change Action" button.
The problem is, I don't see an option for m3u files in the list. The only things that show up for me are MP4, PNG, TIFF, XLS, RM, and EMP.
And as I mentioned, I do not see an "Add" or "+" button anywhere to manually add M3U to the list. The only buttons are remove and change. Perhaps that's something that's just missing in my copy (I'm using version 1.5.0.7, BTW). Perhaps my installation got hosed somehow. Maybe I'll try re-downloading and reinstalling it.

  • When I open Thunderbird, I can not see the inbox window. When I click on the icon in my dock (Mac) it's checked like it's open but I can't see it.

    This just started a couple of days ago, so not sure what I did. I also have to Force Quit to get Thunderbird to quit. When I click on the icon in the dock after it starts up the menu bar at the top is greyed out and it goes to Firefox not Thunderbird. Thanks for any help.

  • Why does my bank statement open up in Quicktime Player with only the first page visible?

    This month I tried to open my bank statement as usual, and it opened in Quicktime Player.  The first page of the statement displays, but I can not scroll to the next pages.  I have tested downloading other items, and they downloaded as usual.  I don't use Quicktime, and I tried hiding it.  But each time I try to see my statement, it comes up again. 

    Hi Lynda,
    What file format is your bank statement in? Is it a PDF or in an .xls/.csv file format? It sounds like the program-to-file association has gotten messed up on the file. If you right-click (or ctrl-click) on the file then:
    - Get Info
    - Open with
    If it's a .pdf then you'll want to associate the file with Preview (or whatever PDF viewer you use). If it's a different file format you'll want to associate it with the program that you typically use for that file type.

  • Quicktime Player not playing files off desktop

    5K iMac
    OSX 10.10.1
    This is a video editing machine that has AJA Kona 3G drivers and codecs installed.
    FCP X, FCP 7, and Premiere Pro have been installed on it.
    FCP X has been removed using the Digital Rebellion FCS remover utility.
    Trying to get Premiere to be more stable, I removed unneeded codecs from:
    /Library/QuickTime
    At the moment I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything (FCP 7, Premiere, Kona 3G Drivers), and all those codecs are back in the /Library/QuickTime folder.
    ProRes and H.264 .movs are playing fine in the Applications and in Quicklook.
    But when I right click on file and open with Quicktime Player, the app opens and shows up in the dock, but the file does not open.
    If I try "file -> open file" from the Quicktime app, I select a bog standard H.264, the app crashes.
    If I open Quicktime and do a screen recording or movie capture, it works. I can close out and open that movie capture in Quicktime player.
    I installed Quicktime 7 and it is working fine.
    Mpeg Streamclip can play all those files back.
    Any ideas on troubleshooting, or maybe just resetting Quicktime player back to a default state?

    Never mind. After I had uninstalled, reinstalled, updated everything...
    it still needed one more reboot. Then it worked again.

    when i try to open itunes i now get an error message saying i do not have the required components installed error number 45075?

    Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:

  • Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

    I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them.  Has anyone had a similar problem….thanks

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

  • New links will not open in a tab, only in the main window

    with firefox 21, links will not open a new tab, only in the main window. I have set the option for tab opening, but it still will not work

    Did you installed ASK toolbar?
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *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 it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • Everytime I open a new tab, the firefox window gets smaller and smaller.

    Every since I updated my Firefox, I have had issues. I love firefox so I would like to have this fixed please :) Well, everytime I open a new window or tab, the Firefox window gets smaller. Kind of like I hit the button by the close screen button. I have to actually hit that button to minimize the screen and hit it again to maximize it. It is sort of annoying. Is there something I can do?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995
    • Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
