Quicktime plugin won't install as Firefox plugin

I've downloaded and successfully installed the latest version (7.6.5) of Quicktime (standalone version).
However when I try to view a page requiring Quicktime in my Firefox browser, it says "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." If I click the link it opens a dialog box "Plugin Finder Service" which shows Apple Quicktime as being available. When I click Next to install it it says the plugin is not available, with a link for Manual Install. Clicking that sends me to the same webpage I previously downloaded/installed Quicktime from. Further, checking the Firefox Plugins page shows I have Quicktime Plugin 7.6.5 installed and enabled.
Any ideas as to what the problem is?

What version of Firefox are you using? Maybe Firefox is blocking the plugin? At the Tools -> Options -> Applications is there an option to use the Quicktime plugin?

No more quicktime plugin in latest version of Firefox.

Since I installed the latest version of Firefox, every time I attempt to view a Quicktime formatted video, I'm told to download Quicktime. I have a Mac and already have Quicktime. When I go to manage my Firefox add-ons, the Quicktime plugin is no longer there, nor can I find it to download.
Why?

I finally figured out how to solve this problem. Once I made the move to Mountain Lion via clean install, Quicktime stopped working in FF, but it worked in all my other Mac browsers. The Quicktime plugin will only first register as an FF plugin when you run FF in 32-bit mode. So I quit FF, went to the Applications folder, did a "Get Info" on FF, checked the 32-bit mode box, re-ran FF, was able to see an online Quicktime video (trailers.apple.com), then quit FF, unchecked the 32-bit mode setting, and all is right in the world again.
I actually gave up on FF after all these years and tried to switch full-time to Google Chrome. That did not go as well as I expected, and so I had to figure out the FF problem or else I was going to go mad!

Quicktime plugin does not load on FireFox 4.01 says Waiting for Video

When i go to Apple Trailers and view a trailer the popout box opens but message in window is " Waiting For Video ". Have re-installed quicktime still doesnt work, works ok in IE 8 still.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== since installing Firefox 4.1

Quicktime Plugin does not work in Firefox

This is my problem: out of the blue, Quicktime stopped playing embedded files in Firefox. I'm told that I need to download the appropriate plugin. I have re-installed Quicktime more than once, to no avail. Embedded content will run from IE, but not from Firefox - Quicktime does not even appear in the "about:plugins" page at all.
I have Quicktime 7.3.1 installed on a PC running Windows XP Home SP2, using Firefox 2.0.0.11. Any help would be appreciated.

No one? I'm about to switch to QT Alternative, since Apple Support seems not to even know there is such a problem.

I am using opensuse 11.3, I download and execute firefox from sh file. But it cannot find libflashplayer.so. All my other browsers have flash player (usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so). But firefox cannot see that file. What must I do?

That's all no much details.

Try to place a symlink to the Flash plugin in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

Com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist

My Dad's Safari 5.1 keeps on wanting to open PDFs using the QuickTime plugin. If we remove com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist, and start Safari, it recreates the file with the PDF mime type set to true. If we manually change it to false, and start Safari, it no longer uses QuickTime to display the PDF, but some time later, the plist has changed back to true. So far we have not got to the bottom of why the plist keeps changing.
On my Macs, after removing the plist, when it gets recreated, it is false. I did a clean install on my Macs, whereas my Dad upgraded from Snow Leopard. I don't really want to tell him to clean install !

Dez,
Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin solved all of my problems with PDF viewing in Safari.
It is a free plugin for non-commercial use.

I recently searched for files having "quicktime" in a filename; I shut it down at 222,000. Why would I find so many? What is actually required by Quicktime? How can I rid my computer of these files?

what am I to do now?

Quicktime files are video or 'movie' files that Quicktime player will play them back.
Where did you search, Google on the net or spotlight on your computer?
If you dont havevideo files on your machine or want to play back video, then just leave Quicktime alone.

Quicktime plugin in FireFox 3.6 not viewing TIFFs?

I just upgraded to FF 3.6, and now all of the sudden neither my own TIFF viewing plugin (AccelViewTIFF) nor Quicktime will view TIFF files.
has anyone experienced this?

I am having the similar problem, and have duplicated it on TWO computers, both pentiums w/ Windows OS, but otherwise very different as one is my home machine which I manage, and the second is a company-provided laptop managed by the IT department.
General Config: Firefox 3.5.8, QuickTime PlugIn 7.6.5
General Prob Description: On certain websites, embedded tiff images are not displayed. Briefly shown is the blue Q, but then blank.
Details: This began when trying to view images at the US Patent Office website (e.g. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=% 2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6040531.PN.&OS=PN/6040531&RS=PN/6 040531 then click on images). I went through the process of installing QuickTime, and set it to be the preferred plugin for tiff images within FF (under MIME of the 'browser' tab). I was able to display the image on the mozilla tiff test page ( http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/testpages/tiff.html ), but still had the same problem at the patent office.
Upon researching on the Web, I found several interesting pieces of information (but no solution). These were
1. Others having same/similar problem that posted to the Mozilla support sight:
a) Response suggested using alternatiff ( http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-viewforum_thread.php?locale=si&commentsparentId=504396&forumId=1 )
b) No response with a solution ( https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-viewforum_thread.php?comments_offset=0&comments_threadId=0&comments_parentId=19528&c omments_threshold=0&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc&forumId=1&timecontrol=172800 )
2. Again from the mozilla support page, another had the same problem, coincidentally at the USPTO web site that I first saw the problem ( https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/521626?s=tiff%20browser ). The solution was to use another plug-in (AlternaTIFF - www.alternatiff.com ). I did not try this, thinking that someone at Apple will catch thread (and note the number of occurrences of the issues) and offer some response, hopefully a solution.
3. On the web, I again ran across the same problem and again relating to accessing images at the USPTO ( http://inventblog.com/business-and-tech-tips/quicktime-tif-and-uspto-images.html ). I don't think this guy likes Apple, and basically the proposed solution was again to disable QT and use something else. However, it lead to another site with additional insight.
4. The link to the site references in #3 didn't work, but I was able to find it via search ( http://www.sos.idaho.gov/tiffhelp.htm ). The point made there that was informative: "If you have QuickTime installed, you will have to disable the QuickTime plugin for TIFF's. While QuickTime does support the TIFF file format it does not support compression formats used in TIFFs. Furthermore, QuickTime will only display the first page of a multipage TIFF document." However the link to Apple's support page where there may have been some help did not work. Note again, this site suggest uninstalling QuickTime.
5. The Idaho site had a link to some web site at Microsoft that looked promising, but alas couldn't find it. However, I found another "test sight" that will duplicate the problem of brief blue Q, then a blank image ( http://www.secondchair.com/Help/HelpTIFF.html ).
Finally, I forgot to mention what the USPTO site had to say about tiff files ( http://www.uspto.gov/faq/plugins/tiff.jsp ). Now this sounds like old info based on the version, but QuickTime is not suggested for windows.
And one last piece of info . . . I can save the image to disk, and open with QuickTime (not in FF as a plug-in, but as the stand-alone app). I can also do a "save as" in FF for a page with a non-displaying tiff, and when I open the save file the image displays properly.
OK, Apple . . . time to step up. Please don't give me a "try this" or "did you do that?" or "reinstall ....." as I've done more than enough than I should have to . . . and instead will simply get alternatiff, or something else. While this may not be a QT issue, it does seem to be related to how QT works in FF (and perhaps other browsers and applications).

The quicktime plugin doesn't play mp3 in Firefox

I've got a webpage with <a href="audiofile.mp3" target="a_frame">link text</a>. This page is part of a website that I'm webmaster on.
Clicking on the link always plays the audio in Safari but is inconsistent in Firefox in my iMac (OSX 10.6.8). Sometimes the file plays but mostly the click gets ignored. I'm using Firefox 5.0.1 and the Quicktime plugin is 7.6.6.
I've tried this page on PC based browsers. Chrome works every time. IE mostly works but sometimes the audio plays but the player controls aren't displayed. Firefox is inconsistent.
I've tried disabling other plugins. Any ideas?

Your "direct link" code doesn't give any instructions to any browser plug-in. Without instructions each different page visitor will get different behavior. Some visitors settings would download the file and others would play the file using a different browser plug-in (Real Player or WMP for example).

Firefox 19 will not load quicktime plugin.

iMac running OS X 10.8.3. Cannot watch quicktime in Firefox. Add-ons do not show a quicktime plugin. Safari works fine.

the plugin is not loading. plugin check shows no plugin for quicktime. quicktime works fine everywhere else(stand alone, in Safari) i am stumped on this one

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, my QuickTime plugin crashes when I view a certain web site.

This never happened with the previous versions of Firefox. The latest version of the QuickTime plugin is installed.
Since posting this, I've updated to Firefox 5. The same problem continues with the newest version.

I was able to stop the crashing by give the embed tag a non-zero height.
Originally I had a zero height and width on the embed sound tag on my pages. That worked fine until FF4, after which the Quicktime plugin crashed. Just updated my pages to have zero width and one height. The embed still does not show, but it no longer crashes the Quicktime plugin.
Perhaps some smart FF developer would know why this work around fixes the crash.

Quicktime Plugin/Firefox stops playing mp3 after a few seconds

We've run into a problem with Quicktime Player in Firefox (Win XP) only playing the first few seconds of an mp3. It doesn't happen with all mp3s, but out of the five we've tested four showed this problem... only one of the five played through to the end.
When accessing the mp3 file, quicktime plugin loads with the big Q, takes a few seconds (i.e. seems to be downloading the full file), displays the controller, then starts playing. The progress bar moves quickly to the right and stops when it reaches the far right. For some of the mp3s it's only a second or two, for one it is about 8 seconds. The ones that only play for a second or two are regular music mp3s of about 3-5 minutes in length. The one that plays 8 seconds, is really 17 minutes, 42 seconds long.
All of these seem to play fine with the Quicktime plugin in IE. And all the files play fine in iTunes and Quicktime as local files as well as streaming.
The music files are mp3s generated by iTunes using the "Convert to MP3" function (original files are m4a files from the iTunes store).
The longer file (a podcast) was generated by a third party, so I'm not sure what tools were used to generate it, however I've tested two versions generated by iTunes that also did not play past 8 seconds:
- Original encoding with ID3 tags converted to a different version by iTunes
- New encoding generated by iTunes using the "Convert to MP3" function
(FWIW, renaming the files doesn't make a difference either.)
I have confirmed that this is happening for a colleague of mine on his computer as well.
Reloading the page/mp3 file (F5), force-reload (control-F5), disabling the cache (using Web-Developer Plugin, or Firebug), clearing the cache (through Firefox's Options->Advanced->Network->Offline Storage settings, or through "Clear Recent History") ... none of these seem to make a difference.
However, I did notice that for the files that weren't working, using Firebug's Net panel, it looks like the plugin starts *and finishes* playing the file before the file is completely downloaded (i.e. the player stops playing and the Net panel still shows the file downloading -- usually for a few seconds more before it is completely downloaded).
(And now the one mp3 file that was playing fine is no longer playing. It too just plays a second or two then stops...)
This is with Firefox 3.6.3 and Quicktime Plugin 7.6.6 on Windows XP Pro.

I've upgraded to firefox 4/snow leopard and now my .avi's won't play using the quicktime plugin. What am I doing wrong?

I'm unable to play .avi's in Firefox 4 that worked fine in Firefox 3. I just get a blank page. I've also upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard (prior to upgrading Firefox) since the last time I viewed them.
I'm serving these files from my local harddrive so the url starts with file::
I believe these were displayed using the quicktime plugin. Firefox reports my current quicktime plugin as version 7.6.6
I need to get this working because I'm giving a talk soon, and I've been using references in my talk pdf to link to the movies.
======
Just checked, and my movies play fine in Safari. Crud. I'd rather not have to switch to Safari as my default browser. Yuk.

Update: Turns out this is only a problem when the .avi is stored locally and served locally. I uploaded the file to a server and then pointed Firefox there. In that case it displays just fine. Weird.
