I'm on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.4.10. Firefox 2.0.0.6

I recently had this problem after updating QT to 7.2. I'd open Firefox and would see the QuickTime logo with a question mark on many websites. After doing some poking around, I was able to resolve the issue doing the following:

1. Close out of Firefox
2. System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced tab.
3. Uncheck "Enable Flash"
4. Click "MIME Settings" button
5. Under "Miscellaneous", uncheck Flash media.
6. Close out of System Preferences and relaunch Firefox...it's all good 🙂

This worked for me. Hope it works for you. Good luck!!

Ok, I can watch YouTube, I can use QuickTime as a stand-alone. I can see SOME but not all of the music/movies on websites. Last weekend, I upgraded to the newest QT and even purchasedt the Pro version. Sunday, I couldn't get the Pro to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled so many times I lost count. Never could get it to work, however, I could view everything on the websites. I could also view the content on the stand-alone. Monday morning, the Pro worked.

Now, Pro works, the stand-alone works, some of the website content works, but some doesn't. This is ridiculous. Had I known all this, I wouldn't have wasted my money.

I have tried it on Foxfire, IE7, and AT&T Yahoo browsers. I even tried Netscape. Same thing on all browsers. This could not possibly be my computer, there just seems to be too many people on too many different computers with the same problems.

my experience is it does not matter which browser is used and I have used five different ones. I get the Q/ ? in all broswers except I.E. where the screen flashes once when Quicktime tries to open. With Quick time installed i can not open the streaming audi/video from the same site I was able to when I uninstalled Quicktime. I need this program to open MP 4s sent from my wifes MAC and to open other slide shows. I tried making certain prefrences were Ok as and setting a different media player as my default, but still Quicktime opens first and is not compatible with some media players from reputable web sites such as CBS News.
Apple does not have their act together if they can let this matter go so long I too spoke to them months ago and no results has shown up yet.
Idea or sound solutions most welcome.

happens on all my browser until I uninstall Quicktime which is needed for obvious reasons. Tried it using Mozzilla, firefox, netscape (2 versions) and in I.E. something different happenes the screen flashes once when I tried to get podcasts or streaming audio from well know reliable website such as CBS News
Apple in New York had absoloutley no answers and never heard of the issue before. Hard to beleive considering so many have complaints,
Person offering real solution gets sainthood status.
