I'm running FF 21.0 on a MacBook. The action in my Preferences > Applications is "Use QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6 (in Firefox).

When I go to www.BluestoneMojo.com/videos.html and click on any of the video links, the MOV file does not display on the target page. Because the file doesn't display, I can't play the video. When I use either Chrome or Safari, the files display and play. So the problem seems to be with FF.

Your System Details List shows the QuickTime plugin.

Do you see an enabled QuickTime plugin on the about:plugins page with a video/quicktime content type?

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to be so slow in responding. Yes, the QuickTime plugin shows up as enabled on the about:plugins page.
