firefox crashes every time I try to open http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

[Matthias Andersson]

Binary package hint: firefox

Every time I click on a link on Apple's homepage referring to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ the browser exits and when I restart the browser I get the message "Firefox closed down unexpectedly..." and gives me the options to either start from scratch or to restore my previous session.

This is really annoying.

please try to uninstall the vlc plugin package and see if your problem goes away.
