Mozilla help

Post by Lt. Dan »

Now, on my dads PC he has Mozilla and I use that when I'm on his comp. But when I click on a movie clip and get a page full of them crazy symbols. MPEGs work fine with quicktime but I'm guessing it's a plug-in I need for certain types of media files.

Help would be grand. Thanks.

I think this sometimes happens with AVIs that are uploaded as ASCII and not binary. Then again, I could be COMPLETELY wrong.

In any case, Praxis's suggestion would work...or you could associate the filetype with an external program.

The server is improperly configured and is sending out the file as text stream rather than binary.
