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

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

barrel05 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 28, 2006, 11:14:46 PM »

sorry 1.5.0.4

guestolo · « **Reply #10 on:** June 28, 2006, 11:16:55 PM »

Quicktime should auto detect the Firefox browser
I haven't tried it yet, but I will if you don't want to

Uninstall Quicktime and reboot the computer
Try quicktime alternative from my last link I posted

yeah it used to but since upgrading to ff 1.5.0.4 it doesnt work i've tried unistalling qt a couple of times, i read it has somethin ta do with adblocking but i turned that off. I haveta go now but please let me know if ya cant figure it out i might try unistalling ff and reinstalling it

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

barrel05 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 29, 2006, 04:36:58 AM »

No i dont have adblock an address is http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/spiderman3/site/

guestolo · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2006, 11:25:59 PM »

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
