I know what browser firefox is, I use it all the time
If you happen to be using a Beta version of Firefox
That means you accept to be a tester of a program, so you let me know how it works  /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
Get it

But to ensure what version you are actually using, in Firefox
Click on HELP>>About Mozilla Firefox
Let me know the exact version you are running please

Quicktime should auto detect the Firefox browser
I haven't tried it yet, but I will if you don't want to  /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
Uninstall Quicktime and reboot the computer
Try quicktime alternative from my last link I posted

If you have problems, have you installed firefox adblock extension?
If not, give me a link to a site you have problems with
I'll try quicktime alternative on my test computer

I want to try it anyways, see if I have luck with it
Sorry, but I'm not about to install Quicktime itself, hee hee

Sorry for the delay
I had no problems running the trailer with IE or Firefox using QuickTime Alternative 1.70
I posted a link earlier, you may want to try and uninstall Quicktime
reboot and try installing QuickTime Alternative 1.70
