Anyone else experiencing a lot of crashing from Firefox?  I have the lastest edition...  It's been going on for a few weeks or more now.

I haven't noticed a lot of crashing. I have noticed that embedded Quicktime movies sometimes crash the entire browser.

You could uninstall and reinstall the application and all of the extensions. Might help.

I have had a few, and as far as i can tell it may be java issues. Using quicktime locks the tab to the one with the movie. I cant select a different tab until i have closed the one using quicktime.

Quicktime sucks almost as hard as realmedia. I always use software alternatives to those, much less trouble trust me.

Guess I haven't been paying attention. There's an alternative to QT?

Yep, just google for 'quicktime alternative' and you get a codec + mediaplayer classic.

Agreed, quicktime is like a virus. It screws up some parts of Java (dunno why). Same goes with Itunes.

Google "quicktime alternative".
