In looking at the list of about:plugins;

Quicktime looks like the following: 

   File: npqtplugin5.dll,npqtplugin4.dll,npqtplugin3.dll,npqtplugin2.dll,npqtplugin.dll

This seems a bit too much!

Should I uninstall and re-install Quicktime?

Thanks.

That is OK. That are all separate plugin files that each support different MIME types. You would have to check the properties of the files to see what types are supported. If you never will use specific MIME types then you can check the QT settings and disable these types. If you remove the files in QT then it is likely that QT will restore them at some time.
