I can't install Quick time into Firefox.

I can't seem to install Quick time into Firefox as a plug in, as I understand it, quick time's installer should install into Firefox but it doesn't, and I don't see anywhere in the Firefox tools to do it manually. Can ya lend me a hand??

if its an online installation, make sure you ahve the "allow websites to install software" box checked in--tools--options--web features

How do I install QuickTime?

If you have QuickTime 5.0 or later installed, Mozilla Firefox will automatically use the plugin. You do not need to do anything.

If you install QuickTime after Mozilla Firefox, the QuickTime installer will automatically install the plugin for Mozilla Firefox.

quicktime works fine here with ff 1.0

I know, I did see that, 'cept it didn't install anything automatically or use the plugin automatically.. hmmm perhaps it was the website that's a problem???

The website works for me in Firefox 1.0. Try downloading and installing the standalone QuickTime installer:

Nope, I get the notice that I need to install quick time and when I try it says it's a manual install but after I install it it's not working..
This las time I installed it, it looks like it's installed but when I went to the above page everything crashed "Quick time has caused an illegal operation"

But thanks LG it was a shot.

OK I just noticed Java script isn't running right either...

I can't see the tears

QT is most definitely installed then. But obviously not working.

I'd suggest uninstalling Firefox and QT, then install Firefox, then install QT by running the standalone EXE rather than through the Firefox Plug-in Finder service. I remember reading (I think it was in eWeek) that the plugin manager sometimes had issues while the standalone install would work.

About the JavaScript, if you re-install Firefox it should work again. If not, make sure it's enbaled (Tools > Options > Web Features > Enable JavaScript).
