No, the thing it is I **did see** that notice and the one that
it did show was some old holdover from 1.x (still trying to
find a replacement for that one), so I knew about that one. It
didn't mention any others. ??
This is ridiculous, I can't even find the Quick Time plugin
now. I searched for it at the Mozilla add-on site and it
resulted in totally irrelevant results.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=Quick+Time&cat=all
(And BTW, they've blocked IE6 usage at the site!). It's not
even on this page
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+QuickTime+plugin+with+Firefox,
al that does is takes you to Apple's website for the COMPLETE
player and not any FF plugin.

You probably just missed the notice , Clint.
FF has always told me when an upgrade will make a plug-in
incompatible. It's usually in a popup window.
