I have OS 10.8.4, FireFox 18.0.2 and I can't viiew video links nor play audio links on websites. Can't find quicktime plug-in for firefox either. All google searches for same come up empty. What is going on? I can get the plug-in for Chrome but not FireFox. Add-ons manager also can't find the quicktime app.

When I try clicking on a link that has audio, I get the message about needing a plug-in and advice to click the link to find one. There are none.

What do I have to do to get quicktime plug-in on my mac?

BTW, QuickTime itself works just fine; I just can't play mpr etc files through FireFox.

Thanks for your help.

That's mp3 files, not mpr. All thumbs!

Normally when you install QuickTime it includes the plugin for Firefox. (This article has the link, which you already know about: Use the QuickTime plugin to play audio and video.)

When you check your plugins list, is QuickTime listed there as disabled, or just completely missing? (The disabled plugins cluster toward the bottom on a gray background.)

Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category

Anything about QuickTime here?

Please update to Firefox 21, 18 is no longer supported or secure.
