Title: Can't play quicktime on firefox
Post by: Mike J on 19 July, 2008, 11:25:01 am

The film plays but all I get is a green screen and sound, no picture.

Any ideas?

You could try this

Free-Codecs.com : QuickTime Alternative 2.6.0 : QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install the official QuickTime Player. (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/quicktime_alternative.htm)

Personally I just avoid Quicktime and all its works.

Did try it, but unfortunately iTunes won't work without Quicktime installed and it won't install if Quicktime is installed :(

The new firefox is weird. None of my plugins work. Had to reinstall all of them.

Just avoid all Apple software, the computer works fine then.

Better yet, get a Mac, and QT will work fine...

Ok...get an OS I don't need or want so that an application I don't need or want can run correctly.

Sounds just like Microsoft :)
