Quicktime Plugin crashes on Firefox 11&12. No problem with IE 8

I keep getting notifications that my quicktime plugin has crashed. I have the latest Quicktime Edition 7.7.1 and Firefox 12 installed. This does not happen with IE 8. OS is Windows XP Pro SP3.
This is the website on which Firefox plugin crashes for me consistently. http://www.janalea.com/. It's my realtors website.

Quicktime plugin is to be honest a piece of crap, slows down Firefox and causes problems like this. As Quicktime is maintained by Apple, you should complain to them.
Personally, I recommend you disable it completely and install [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC media player], it has a plugin component that you can use instead.

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 crashes and Window size not correct when running a course from an LMS (Coursemill)

I am trying to run a course from an LMS (Coursemill) and a couple issues are occurring.
First, the quicktime plugin crashes, therefore the mp3 sound of the course does not play. When I reload the page, I get an "Unable to find API adapter" error message and the page won't load.
Also, the predetermined window size does not work properly and I end up with vertical and horizontal scroll bars which I do not want.
These issues are of high importance and need a solution ASAP. Please contact me.

If you haven't already visited the using QuickTime Plugin with Firefox KB article, I would recommend you first start there. If your problem still persists & no solution is found after referencing it just reply back to this response & we will go another route.

Latest Quicktime Plugin crashing Firefox and IE

The latest Quicktime plugin, 7.2, is crashing both Firefox and IE.

If Athlon 64 is a 64 bit system, I've read here at the discussion's that it is not supported by QT. But other's may be able to confirm that. The only time I've expierenced QT crash is when I've not had the correct driver for Nvidia, or hard lock up when I had hardware not configured properly.If the computer does not meet the system spec's for high definition H.264 the computer will also crash. The latest version of Firefox 2.0.0.7 and QT 7.2 work fine together.

My QuickTime Plugin crashes whenever there in embedded music .mp3s on a webpage. Why?

While other people I have asked do not have this problem, my QuickTime Plugin seems to crash whenever there is embedded music on a webpage. I have updated Firefox and QuickTime, tried several solutions, but it still crashes. Any ideas? :(
I am using Windows 7, Firefox 4, and QuickTime 7.

What? I am afraid that does not mean anything to me

Quicktime plugin crashes

Build a website with background music.

How to find out WHY Flash Player 11.2.202.236 plugins crash in Firefox ESR 10.0.6 on 64-bit Linux

Flash crashes dozens of times a day and I am trying to figure out WHY.
I have the recommended latest player & browser for my operating system.
The only diagnostic information I have is that the crashes seem to occur when a few tabs are open with videos loading in them and when any one video is closed, flash then locks up the browser for about 30 seconds, and then ALL the videos that were loading in separate tabs are dumped & say that the plugin crashed.
Details about the system from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
1. Flash player version: 11.2.202.236
2. Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 (64-bit)
3. Browser: Firefox Firefox ESR 10.0.6
This is the correct set of components.
Debugging, I've modified the about:config dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to any value of 10 seconds to 45 seconds (the default), but it doesn't seem to make a difference in the number of crashes.
Any idea how to get more diagnostic information?

Unfortunately, there's nothing in "/var/crash" after the numerous flash crashes so I'm not sure where to look next.
The 'dmesg' command reports:
npviewer.bin[16884]: segfault at 340 ip 00007f26bda22ab0 sp 00007fffa8abbe78 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[7f26bd68d000+1179000]
Bringing up the CentOS 6 "Applications->System Tools->System Monitor", I see the numerous Flash crashes appear to have some relationship with "npviewer.bin", which uses the "/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so" shared object module and which has numerous "open files", one of which is "/home/<username>/.xsession-errors".
Looking at "/home/<username>/.xsession-errors", we find these lines, which may be useful.
Here are some excerpted errors & warnings:

Quicktime plugin crashes in all browsers in XP

I'm unable to play any Quicktime videos in the browser (using trailers.apple.com as a test). In both Chrome and IE, it doesn't even get to start playing the video, the browser just says that the plugin crashed.
I also notice that if I go to Control Panel -> Quicktime, clicking on the Streaming tab results in a runtime error and the preferences window closes.
I AM able to play .mov files if I open them from the filesystem in Explorer.
I have XP SP3 with the latest patches. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime. I have tried disabling DirectDraw and Direct3D, but nothing seems to help. Does anyone know what this is, or know how to diagnose it further?

i run win 7.0... i window security essentials complete scan. took 4 hours but found this malware installed by 3rd party. havent gotten shockwave error since reboot. will keep posted. this didnt show up in any other virus scan...

I also am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8.2 !
Could someone please help me find a sollution to this! Thanks

Shockwave plugin crash. FIREFOX SUCKS

Continuous Shockwave Plugin crashes while browsing. Browser is up-to-date. Firefox is up-to-date.  SCREW IT. I've deleted firefox and now use IE solely.

This has been ongoing for about a year now, on multiple PC's running firefox. They've had a LOT of time to get this sorted. No, I would not throw out my car, but in the case of an Internet browser, where there are tons of free and better choices, yes, I'd throw it out. As I just did.

The latest version of Firefox has a compatability problem with the Reget download manger which means I can only download zipped files rather than large MOV or MKV files as could previously be done. Is there a solution to this issue?

As per above the Reget add on is now not compatible with Firefox's latest version. Is this something which Firefox is looking into? Is there a work around or is this up to Reget to remedy?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Does Firefox 5 have any problems with Kaspersky ant-virus

Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I have a problem with a process avp.exe in Kaspersky anti-virus 2011. This process uses 70-80% of my CPU slowing my system almost completely. This only started after I downloaded F5. Is this just a coincidence?

The file avp.exe is part of Kaspersky's application. See:
*http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/avp/29180/
*http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=183727
*Google search results: https://encrypted.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&lr=&tbs=qdr%3Ay&source=hp&q=%22avp.exe%22&btnG=Search
*Search results on Kaspersky's forum for '''''avp.exe''''': http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=2f10092f57c9de4a962382114e3c2235&search_in=posts&result_type=topics&highlite=%2Bavp.exe
The only conflict you may encounter is with any toolbars that Kaspersky may install in browsers, if they have not been updated to show compatibility with Firefox 5. That will not affect the protections offered by Kaspersky as far as scanning incoming files or the files on your hard drive.
You can post in the Kaspersky forum for more information about Firefox 5 compatibility and avp.exe information: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?s=8db6580c55e05780bdc9da42a2cbe63c&act=idx

Trouble closing Firefox, not having the problem with my 2 other browsers

''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/767760]''
For some time, I have trouble closing Firefox. When I try to close it a message appears: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." It used to be that opening one of my other browsers, Internet Expl. or Netscape Navigator, would do the trick but not anymore. Now, when this message appears it seems that the only way I can get Firefox to close is by stop and restart my computer. I have called my ISP but they believe the problem is with Firefox since none of my other browsers have this problem. I have also performed system restore and deleted and reloaded Firefox several times but each time, the problem reappears. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

The [[Firefox hangs]] article should help with this, in particular the section "Hang at exit".
Not related top your question, but you should reset your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox). You appear to be using Firefox 3.6.12 but it is identifying itself as Firefox 2.0.0.20. For details of how to do this see [[Websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]].
