Quake live connection error

Question

Hi fellow archers,
I have a problem with quake live (www.quakelive.com). When I login, the plugin loads and then I get a connection error.
We're sorry, but it appears you are having problems connecting to the QUAKE LIVE network. If you are behind a firewall you must make sure that it permits the following connection:
Protocol: TCP
Host: xmpp.quakelive.com
Port: 5222
The port is open on my hardware firewalls, and I don't have a software firewall installed. I can play quake live from both ubuntu and windows 7, which use the same local IP address.
Firefox outputs the following:
$ firefox
CONNECT_THROTTLE - Connect()
CONNECT_THROTTLE - Connect()
I tried to remove the plugin and installed data (~/.quakelive and the plugin in the ~/.mozilla folder) serveral times, but it doesn't fix the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

@655321, your problem is different.  Quake Live plugin still uses libpng 1.2.  There are aur packages for libpng 1.2.
Sorry Silverwing but I do not know what could be causing your problem.
You are totally right, firefox output shows an error concerning libpng, will try it out and come back with results!
Firefox spams this warning while trying to load game:
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.24
libpng warning: Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.4.3
libpng warning: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
However, the following libpng packages appears installed on my system:
extra/libpng 1.4.3-1
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
local/libpng12 1.2.44-1
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
So i already have libpng 1.2, the problem still lies in the libpng version I think, (Ihave 1.2.44 and quake live needs 1.2.24). I cant find the AUR for this package but nothing shows or its under a different name, can you point out which one is the correct package to install?
pacman -Ss outputs this:
extra/libpng 1.4.3-1 [installed]
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
multilib/lib32-libpng 1.4.3-3 [installed]
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
    (32-bit)
aur/devkitppc-portlibs-libpng 1.4.1-1 (1)
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
aur/k3d-libpng.patch 0.8.0.1-1 (0)
    k-3d is a complete free-as-in-freedom 3D modeling, animation and
    rendering system.
aur/lib32-libpng12 1.2.44-1 (271)
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
    (32-bit)
aur/libpng12 1.2.44-1 [installed] (1677)
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files
aur/libpng-old 1.0.2-2 (13)
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics files,
    builds libpng.3, libpngpf.3 and libpng.so.2 (libpng.so.2.1.0.2)
aur/mingw32-libpng 1.4.3-2 (30)
    A collection of routines used to create PNG format graphics
EDIT: In case this version is not available on the AUR I can write the PKGBUILD (never done it but I would like to learn ) in order to help other peple. That version is available under the libpng-stable tree here:
