View Full Version : Firefox plugin issue

Sometimes when I go to websites and I will get a message at the top of the screen that a plugin was required to view content in it's entirety. Usually it's because there is sound on the page. I click on the button that says "Install missing plugins" and it shows me that I need a quicktime plugin. I will click next and it tells me that the quicktime plugin is not available and gives me a button for manual install. Basically this just installs Quicktime on my system, and does not give me the plugin in the browser. How do I fix this? Is there somewhere I can go to specifically get the quicktime plugin for firefox?
Thanks,

CF

If I remember correctly all you need to do is install Quicktime itself. Firefox will then recognize that it's available and call upon it as needed.

Hope that helps.

Start Menu > Control Panel > Quicktime > MIME settings > Click the type of media that is giving you trouble.

EDIT: If you don't see Quicktime in the control panel click the "Switch to Classic View" in the top left corner of the window.

That's what I've been reading, but for some reason Firefox doesn't use it as a plugin. I have reinstalled Quicktime 2-3 times. I may try to reinstall Firefox.
