WHY now do quicktime videos instead of streaming in most cases on my site, start to download on YOUR browser? This was NEVER the case in the past and frankly is a HUGE PROBLEM! DON'T CHANGE what always worked!

Under Preferences > Applications, you can see the list of file types and the actions that Firefox will take for them. Quicktime videos have probably been set to download, so you can change it so that Firefox will always use a browser plugin to stream the videos.

Thanks but no the issue is: 1. Other users of Firefox. The content should ALWAYS ONLY stream everywhere. 2. In NO way do I want content to be downloaded by anyone! If it is Firefox is aiding piracy and will be liable for damages.
