Does anyone have an idea as to where I can find and download such a plug-in? I tried all the usual suspects, including Google, but to no avail.
Thanks,
MamaMoose

It will reinstall the quicktime plug-in into ./library/internet plugins/QuickTime Plugin.plugin
After that I would do a GET-INFO on the plug-in QuickTime Plugin.plugin and that should bring up this info on this photo.

I followed your instructions and downloaded QT 7.2 and installed it. However, when I checked Get Info in the Library, there I could not find Mozilla (default) (1.7.13). It's probably because I did not know to look for it. I did search for "mozilla" but got 30 answers and I could not find a stand-alone Mozilla. Could you please tell me where it redsides.
Thanks much,

OK, try this…. With all applications closed
In finder goto the menubar, click >GO>Home>Library>Preferences>and trash this file.
com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
close all the windows
then… goto the extreme left side of the menubar click >apple
then click Log out of Tom MamaMoose.
Log back in
Try the page or file you need to get quicktime to open.
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
part 2
In the above post I wanted you to look for
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
that's the plugin you need.
But if your preferences aren't set correctly it may not work as it was intended.
---------------------------
---------------------------
part 3
if removing the file above doesn't give you the results you need…….
Close all applications
Goto menubar click >GO>Computer
Click on the drive>Moose drive… you should be in ROOT level
Look for and click on >Library>internet plug-ins…trash.. DON"T EMPTY>quicktime plugin.plugin
If you have a backup of this drive then don't worry about trashing the file for now.
And fi you still have the NEW Firefox installer it will place a fresh plugin back in the library.
Now start your browser and see if your Quicktime works.
Sometime a conflict is created between the Root plugin and Users plugin.
Let me know how she goes.

there is something about 10.4.10 that does NOT like any QT version prior to 7.2. That is why I suggested just running the installer and letting it do its thing. I lost all screen savers after I upgraded to 10.4.10 and did not do the QT upgrade. I also could not view QT movies, the link you had about the artist "doing trash" would not show until I did the 7.2 upgrade. It just wanted to be onery. And I posted a couple of days ago about 7.2 interfering with an online game I really enjoy. It wasn't 7.2 because I hadn't done it on the MBP, but I had done the 10.4.10 upgrade.
And I forgot to mention-Solitaire til Dawn acted up also. The Ace of Spades lost its "face". Again with 10.4.10 upgrade but without the 7.2 upgrade. Once QT 7.2 was installed, all started behaving.

Edit: forgot to add.
as you go back in time using earlier quicktime issues you need to consider security.

Works fine in Safari - no delays either.

I'm not very good at giving up. After finding QT DID work when I logged in as a different user, which I'd forgotten to try, I decided what the heck, and simply removed EVERYTHING Firefox or Mozilla related on my HD and then reinstalled Firefox. Since it's not my primary browser, I figured there wasn't much I could break (and I could also update the bookmarks to match Safari's into the bargain)
Bingo.
Quicktime now works.
I have no idea what was messed up, but something was, and it was something in my user account which has now been removed. I have no add-ons or extensions now either - not that I had any that I thought should interfere, but you never know.

Maybe that's why we visit the theaters so little...At any rate, I couldn't find a trailer that would not play in FF (2.0.0.1) using QuickTime PlugIn (7.1.3). Maybe I should upgrade so it will break?!

It does help to log-out of the user and then log back in.
