Question mark in a Big Q when using firefox

Seen this question asked ALot, I have this problem and never could find a answer. I have the latest firefox and quicktime, even upgraded to pro, didnt help at all. When I do the same link in IE, the link works fine. I even went to the 3rd party quicktime page and downloaded every 3rd party plugin. Please any suggestion would be great, I do not want to go back to IE, as firefox runs faster, smoother, and has greater security.
firefox 1.5
quicktime pro 7.04
When ever I go to a web site with embedded QT content using FireFox, I get a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it, and I am not able to view the pictures, SWF's, etc. I downloaded a plug in, so it works in IE, but not FireFox. Can anybody help?

I had the same problem - works fine in IE, but not in Firefox, but I found a fix that worked for me. Go into QT Settings, Streaming. The default is set on "Automatic" but the "Override Speed for Downloads" box was not checked. I checked it, and selected 28.8/33.6 kbps (which was appropriate for my situation). When I loaded a page that usually had the question mark in the logo, it actually came up properly - no question mark!
I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but it's worth a try.

    Hi,
    >I am using a wireless standard keyboard so maybe the emac doesn't regognise it
    Installation of driver software may be required. Do not expect any wireless device to automatically work with a Mac unless guaranteed to do so. In a case like this, use a wired USB keyboard (a PC keyboard should be OK) and a wired mouse to begin with.

    When you use OWA in something other than IE, you're using OWA lite and no--it is not possible to do either in OWA lite (well, new Exchange stuff makes my answer a little less emphatic but still: pretty much no). Thanks Microsoft. But this guy made it possible to mark unread/read and select all/none:

  • How do I remove the question mark on my dock? When I move my cursor over it it reads "photos".

    How do I remove the question mark on my dock?
    When I move my cursor over it it reads "photos".

    Everything in the Dock is an alias.... that is a tiny file that points to the original app, folder or file.
    If the original app, folder or file is missing or not accessible in some other way (deleted?), it displays a question mark.
    You remove it the same way you remove any icon from the Dock.
    Simply drag the icon up away from the doc a couple of inches and let go of it.
    It should just disappear with a poof and some clouds.

  • I need to fix a virus when using firefox, which is this: Log in to X Marks

    Recently several minutes after entering internet to see my mail, when using Firefox in my new Toshiba computer, a virus appears like a little box with the inscription "Log in to X Marks", impeaching me to continue checking my electronic mail. Today I have run Malwarebytes and Mcfee with any sucess at all. I thank you in advance for your help

    Since many bad add-ons install outside of Firefox and don't have a remove button, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning up bad add-ons. I know it seems long, but it's not that bad.
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    * in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <br><code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Success?

  • U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

    u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

    Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
    Try the following:
    Repair permissions & restart.
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
    QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
    Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

  • I can't see any pictures or graphics when using firefox, I just get a broken file image. How do I fix it?

    I can't see any icons or images when using Firefox. I can on other browsers on my apple laptop. How can I fix it?

    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Firefox > Preferences > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Firefox > Preferences > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

  • Unable to open https sites. can open when using firefox in safe mode.

    Mozilla Firefox has been an exceptional browser, however in the last update I have experienced problems when trying to open https sites. They will not open and then time out. I do not have this problem when using Internet explorer. I have contacted customer service at the problem sites, and they have said other customers have also experienced this problem. I have gone into options and have changed various settings to see if this would solve the problem. It didn't, your response would be appreciated.. Please note if I use firefox in safe mode I can access these sites? My E-mail as follows: [email protected]

    Did you perhaps install an extension to open sites with https
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press "Enter"
    # Use Find ("Ctrl+F") to look for '''https'''
    One such extension is "HTTPS-Everywhere"
    As you probably know Firefox Safe Mode disables extensions and some preferences.

    When using Firefox I cannot signin to sites, but can get to sites with tabs on toolbar but cannot signout whe signin, I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but still have the same problem.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • Just Installed Firefox 6.0.2 And I'm Having Many Problems On Some Web Sites When Using Firefox:

    -When I click on a picture on some sites it will go to the next page with a large view of the picture and then when I go back one page to do the same with another picture (or even the same picture) nothing happens.
    -Videos don't show up or on some sites the videos do show up and work but you can't make them full screen. (YouTube works fine).
    -Sometimes I have to click "Reload" to get my saved codes to show up.
    -It won't let me log onto some sites unless I right click where it says "sign in" and click "open link in new tab".
    -In some Forums the tool bars, smileys, etc. don't work when using Firefox or IE9 and they worked before with IE9.
    -Some of my letters when viewed with IE9 are now in some kind of code (maybe html?).
    I never had these problems before when using IE9 alone!
    Java was updated before I installed Firefox and I installed the Adobe Flash Player 10 plugin right after installing Firefox. My OS is Windows 7 64-bit.
    Please Help. Thank You

Recently I cannot see the text in the body of the emails using FireFox, however I can see the complete email when using FireFox mobile or Internet Explorer.

  • On my new computer, I can no longer open attachmnets in Hotmail when using Firefox. The attachments will open with other browsers. It is quite frustrating. Any help out there would be surely appreciated. Cheers

    Hotmail won't open attachments when using Firefox. I'm not sure if this relates to cookies, add ons (I recently addded Ad-blocker and Do not track), or some other type of security setting. I have tried some proposed solutions on the we to no avail. Using Windows 7

    Tyler,
    Thanks for your suggestion. My problem occurs when trying to open any type of file (at least .doc and .pdf, as far as I know). As I mentioned, when I log into hotmail from another browser, I am then able to open my attachments. I am hoping to figure out how to tinker with firefox so I no longer have this issue. I am not sure what is causing this block, but I know it has to do with Firefox (or settings relating to) or related add ons.

  • I have a mac 10.6 system when using firefox, I can no longer open attachments or downloads. I deleted firefox and reinstalled and it still doesn't work.

    When using firefox, I can no longer open attachments, pdf or downloads. A new window will open and it is blank. The only way to open an attachment or pdf is to shut down firefox and use safari. Everything works with safari so I can't understand what went wrong with firefox. I even download adobe reader thinking that would help. I then deleted my original firefox and re downloaded firefox again. It still doesn't work.
    I am using a 10.6 operating system on my Mac.

    Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
