Shifty, when I load this page all I see is lil quicktime icons everywhere :confused:

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/

*This is not the only page, just using it as an example ;)

2 questions:

When did it start?

Can you show me a picture of it?

here's a link to info on how to do a screen capture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshots#Microsoft_Windows

Started after my modem had to be re-booted :confused:

does it happen in firefox only? can you try to open the same webpage with Internet Explorer and see if it happens with it also?

does it happen in firefox only?

Yes :confused:

uninstall firefox and reinstall it - or check and see if there is a newer version and try to install over your current one? that's all i can think of.

i personally don't like firefox, so unfortunately i'm a bad guy to ask about firefox problems :(

Didn't fix it, IE7 is ok, but Firefox isn't, I think it's in the active x controls
it defaults to quicktime, I updated that also, not sure what the deal is :(

remove the quicktime from firefox using the plugin settings?

remove Quicktime's association to image files? follow the steps below to remove the association:

Go to Start - Control Panel.
Double click the Quicktime icon (if you do not have this icon, you will have to perform the Quicktime uninstall as described below.
In the top drop down box, select File Type Associations.
Click the File Types button
Click the plus sign beside Images - Still image files
Clear the TIF image file box.
Click Apply and OK.

Or,

In the top drop down box, select Browser Plug-In.
Click the Mime Type Settings button.
Click the plus sign beside Images - Still image files
Clear the TIF image file box.
Click Apply and OK and then exit.
Exit your browser window and then go back in and Quicktime should no longer be the default application for TIF image files.
Another option is to uninstall and reinstall Quicktime:

Or

Uninstall Quicktime.
Reinstall Quicktime (you may want to download the latest version).
During the installation process, find the screen where you can uncheck TIF images as a type of image that Quicktime can view.


sounds like quicktime has written itself in as the default picture parser or something?

i'm askin some of my buds who know firefox better, see if they have seen anything like it.

I had a beavy of similar problems on some sites using Firefox. I hate to be subsumed by the great "be-all" but I am quickly becoming an IE7 faithful user.

IE7 is a great quality tabbed browsing experience - even though it's still only beta. it has all the features of FF. i like it, and i don't think any less of you for giving in to something like that.

think of it like this - would you rather buy genuine GM parts for your truck, or a "compatible" but "other" brand that does the same thing and doesn't give a real performance gain? :D
