deuces wild Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I am having problems playing certain videos on Firefox when clicking on links. Most recently I tried to open/play the link at Gandalph's post at http://tinyurl.com/bxqpf When trying to open the link I get a message that I need to install a plugin to view the site........specifically Apple Quicktime. I intall Quicktime...close Firefox....open it and try again with the same results. I have the same problem when trying to play videos using Windows Media Player. Any suggestions? TIA and Merry Christmas! :smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very much possible that an extension causes the problem. It it works in safe mode, could you list the extensions you have installed (Tools -> Extensions). You can also check there if updates for extensions are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
