Firefox 4 crashes quicktime every now and then and unlike FF3, I see nothing until the video is completely loaded. I preferred seeing some progress with the loading in FF3.

In FF3, the quicktime window appeared immediately along with the control bar, so I could see the video loading in. Nothing appears now until it is fully loaded so I don't know if anything is happening or not, is there a video there or not.

And I've received the message twice now that the quicktime add-on crashed. Never did this before.

Hi,

I had the same problem.

Try to open FF4 in 32bit mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime, I switched to using Flash for the video I upload to websites leaving Quicktime behind. I am not having any of the early problems now.

Firefox 4 crashed the Quicktime plugin when there was embedded midi music on the web page, and now Firefox 5 crashes the Quicktime plugin! Mozilla just hasn't bothered to explain the situation or fix it. Well it is their loss...I shall wait 7 days to see if Firefox 5 gets a fix for the embedded midi problem, then if not I shall move to chrome which is faster and doesn't keep seizing-up like Firefox 4. I've only just got Firefox 5 and feel let-down already. Sad.

I've had to use java to play the midi music, which took ages to do on all my web pages. This should not have been necessary.
