You are using the first beta release of Firefox 4; it is not meant for general public use. Not all plugins may yet be updated. Only experienced testers should be using that new beta release. When using an early beta release of any application, you can expect problems. You can go to the Quicktime site and/or Quicktime forums to see if there is information there concerning the compatibility of your version of Quicktime with Firefox 4.
Other Issues: ~~red:You have installed plug-ins with known security issues. You should update them immediately.~~
Install/Update Adobe Reader for Firefox (aka Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox): your ver. 9.3.2; current ver. 9.3.3 (important security update release 06-29-2010; see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-15.html) ~~red:Check your version here~~: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader You may be able to update from the Adobe Reader installed on your system instead of going to the Adobe site and downloading. Start > Program Files, find and click Adobe Reader to open, click Help, click Check for Updates. If you go to the Adobe site to download the current Adobe Reader: -use Firefox to download and SAVE to your hard drive (save to Desktop for easy access) ~~red:-See the images at the bottom left of this post to see the steps to take on the Adobe site~~ -exit Firefox (File > Exit) -check to see that Firefox is completely closed (Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window) -double-click on the Adobe Reader installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Reader
- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
- NOTE for IE: Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version. To install/update the IE ActiveX version, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX installer. See: ActiveX

Try to disable OOPP (Out-Of-Process-Plugins)
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Crash_Protection ..... You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process. dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (only one used in Firefox 4.0)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Is that a pre written script as the adobe plug in you suggested says its not compatible with FF 4.01b and wont install.
If it the beta wasn't intended for the general public then is shouldn't have been made freely available?
Have now updated to 7.6.6 Quicktime and still the same. Disabling Out-Of-Process-Plugins didnt work either.

Open source software pre-release versions are generally available to anyone who wants to download and try them out. The concept is to let their users participate in the development process and provide feedback while the development cycle moves forward.
You need to read the warnings and judge for yourself if you want to be a "tester". My personal opinion as a long term Firefox user and "tester", I think Mozilla is making a mistake by promoting 4.0 beta as they are now doing. IMO, more addons are going to need to be patched to work in Firefox 4.0, than with any previous major release version - 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, & 3.6 included.
