Hi Tom, |
| 27 |
Thanks. Good call about how to look at it. Wrong technology. It |
| 28 |
seems that Firefox thinks it's supposed to run a Crossover plugin for |
| 29 |
Quicktime stuff. I also have mplayerplug-in installed and Firefox sees |
| 30 |
it, but it's also running one or more of the many Quicktime plugins |
| 31 |
when Firefox is open. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
QuickTime Plug-in 6.5.1 (CrossOver - npqtplugin.dll) |
| 34 |
QuickTime Plug-in 6.5.1 (CrossOver - npqtplugin2.dll) |
| 35 |
QuickTime Plug-in 6.5.1 (CrossOver - npqtplugin3.dll) |
| 36 |
QuickTime Plug-in 6.5.1 (CrossOver - npqtplugin4.dll) |
| 37 |
QuickTime Plug-in 6.5.1 (CrossOver - npqtplugin5.dll) |
| 38 |
QuickTime Plug-in 6.5.1 (CrossOver - npqtplugin6.dll) |
| 39 |
QuickTime Plug-in 6.5.1 (CrossOver - npqtplugin7.dll) |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
It seems each of these handles many file types. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I know nothing about how Firefox uses plugins. Where are they |
| 44 |
stored? How do you configure Firefox to use the right plugin if two or |
| 45 |
more say they can handle the same data type? |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
It seems I have lots of copies of the first one hanging around: |
