that video plays fine for me. Centos 3.6, Firefox 4. Firefox uses
mplayer to play quicktimes.

what does "about:plugins" in firefox tell you?

here's what mine says:

	QuickTime Plug-in 7.4.5

	    File: mplayerplug-in-qt.so
	    Version: 
	    mplayerplug-in 3.55

	    Video Player Plug-in for QuickTime, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player streams using MPlayer
	    JavaScript Enabled and Using GTK2 Widgets 

yum list installed | grep reports:

	mplayer.i386                 1.0-0.46.svn20100703.el5.rf   installed
	mplayer-codecs.i386          3:20061022-1                  installed
	mplayer-codecs-extra.i386    3:20061022-1                  installed
	mplayer-common.i386          1.0-0.46.svn20100703.el5.rf   installed
	mplayer-fonts.noarch         1.1-3.0.rf                    installed
	mplayerplug-in.i386          3.55-1.el5.rf                 installed
