I wanted to listen to this

http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/3aw-breakfast-blog/breakfast-investigates-ryan-cook-case/20100323-qrss.html

However, when the page opens in Firefox (Ver 3.5.8) it tells me that the Apple
Quicktime plugin is missing. It then asks me to find and install it.

However, after following the prompts, all I get is a small window that opens
which says:

Window title: Plugin Finder Service

No plugins were installed.

Apple Quicktime Not Available Manual Install

Then, buttons at the bottom, "Back, Finish, Cancel".

The manual install is a link to the QT download site, which I followed,
downloaded and installed Quicktime.

I thenk reloaded the page in question, but got the same error message.

Is there a special way that I have to hold my tongue or something to get this to
work?

Why did it do that? When I clicked on the link below (the one about blogs and
stuff) it opened a web page with the audio embedded in it. Firefox then asked to
install a "missing plugin".

I'm not at that particular computer at the moment so I can't try the link that
you pointed to.

Still, the problem remains - that I cannot get Firefox to install the Quicktime
plugin.

I dunno what other settings to check. I downloaded and manually installed
Quicktime which was the "manual" option. But that just installed the player.
Firefox doesn't see it.

I forgot to mention - I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium as well.

I'm guessing that you don't have the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin
installed on that pc
http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx
consequently Firefox attempts to play the media through Quicktime which you
do have installed but possibly not configured to play the file type because
mp3's are associated with Windows Media Player.
Or maybe only the Windows plugin will work on that particular page.

To check the Quicktime MIME settings
Open Quicktime player.
Click Edit at the top of the window.
Preferences - Quick Time Preferences
Browser tab
MIME settings at the bottom of the window
That's where you see and set the file associations

Thanks for you help, Fred. I'll have a look at it later today. Will post an
update if anyone's interested.
