If you have successfully installed and setup Quicktime and passed the above test, you may still run into a problem with embedded media on some pages or your own page for that matter. The most common reason is that the page in question is using the non-standard <bgsound> element to embed audio. Firefox does not support the bgsound element. If this is the case, there is an extension available which enables Firefox to play audio embedded with the bgsound element:
BGM ConductorApparently it's bgsound that it doesn't support, though if I could get that BGM Conductor it might help. I didn't have any luck with that last night and haven't had time to try it tonight. I still don't know why I can't seem to get the Quicktime plug-in for MIDI files. Everything else seems to work just fine.
Strange.
