finally got it working... thanks for the pointers (didnt even expect to find a bug in bugzilla because i was sure it was a quicktime issue)
for other people having the same problem: my mozilla installation used the plugins from netscape 4's plugin folder, and they didn't get updated from the quicktime control panel. what you have to do is delete the plugins in netscape4's (& mozillas) program folder (all dlls beginning with npqtplugin), then launch the quicktime control panel and apply the settings you want, then copy the dlls to mozillas plugin folder. f/0 Fabian Schach wrote: > Flo Ledermann wrote: > >> the quicktime plugin feels itself responsible to display png images >> (!) and to play mp3 files (without asking if i want to save them), >> although i explicitly disabled both of them in the quicktime mime >> settings. also the about plugins page does not show these mimetypes >> assigned to quicktime. >> >> does anyone know this problem/bugnumber/solution? > > > Which version of QucikTime did you install?
