Hi all,

I have a problem with MAC Safari/FF pulgin, the plug in window does not disappear when adding a new tab to the browser. It just stays hovering on top of every new Tab I open in the browser.

I want to try and fix it myself, just point me to the relevant module/s. Where do you do the windowing work on the MAC OS?

Thanks,
Y

Click on the "Tools" menu in Firefox and select "Add-ons" to temporarily disable the QuickTime plugin without fully uninstalling it. Select "QuickTime Plugin." Click the button to the right of the selection labeled "Disable." The plugin can be enabled with another click.

Type "about:config" in the browser's location bar and hit "Enter" to manually remove the Quicktime plugin from within Firefox. Depending on your system's configuration, a button may pop up that reads "I'll be careful, I promise!" Click the button to confirm.
search for or scroll down to "plugin.expose_full_path." Double-click on the value "false" to the right of "plugin.expose_full_path" to change it to "true."

Type "about:plugins" in the browser's location bar and hit "Enter." Scroll down the list to QuickTime. There will likely be several QuitckTime plugins listed.

Note the file listed next to each QuickTime plugin on the list. For example, the listing may be "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\npqtplugin2.dll."

Navigate in Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to each of the QuickTime plugin files you noted in Step 5. Delete or change each file name. For example, you can change "npqtplugin2.dll" to "XXnpqtplugin2.dll."

Close the Explorer or Finder windows and restart Firefox. The QuickTime plugin should now be uninstalled.

Firefox add-on that provides a sidebar in your browser. Tab sidebar extension, if you havent heard of it already, it provides a sidebar in the browser that can act as a replacement to the main tab....

I am having the same issue. My page runs fine under Windows XP with either Safari or FF, but on the Mac, when I leave the page with the VLC player, the player freezes on the last frame. I removed all copies of the Quicktime plugin from the Installed Plugins folder, but the problem is still present.

Any ideas?

Hi all,

Thanks for the prompt response.

I have an Idea of were the fix should be. I am working on it now and if it would work I'll publish it.
How can I upload this kind of bug fixes? (except of doing good to the forum members and publish here, How I added a code snippet to the next VLC version?)
