I keep getting notifications that my quicktime plugin has crashed. I have the latest Quicktime Edition 7.7.1 and Firefox 12 installed. This does not happen with IE 8. OS is Windows XP Pro SP3.

First I would reccomend making sure you have the most up-to-date version of the plugin you can check for yourself by following this link:

As I said above I have the latest versions of every plugin and program. It's all updated. I already searched the database for solutions and read all those things you suggested previous to posting. Nothing there helped.

We have same problem in WindowsXP SP3 + FF12 + QT7.7.2 and Windows7 + FF12 + QT7.7.2.

Quicktime plugin is to be honest a piece of crap, slows down Firefox and causes problems like this. As Quicktime is maintained by Apple, you should complain to them.

Personally, I recommend you disable it completely and install VLC media player, it has a plugin component that you can use instead.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling QT and Firefox several times, nothing worked.

Finally I loaded up the VLC player as suggested above, and disabled QT plug-in in Firefox.

So far my media all works fine now!
