If you do not see MIDI/mid in about:plugins, QT did not install MIDI support.
There is not an option in FF to turn off the "helper" that tells you you need to download a plugin. QT does not make a version for Linux so I have the exact problem you have on my linux desktops. A pain, for sure.
MIDI, in this context, is the file format Dr Bob choose for the music on this site. Most MIDI files
end with .mid, sometimes .karAt any point in the install did it give you the option to select a default install or do a custom ? If it does, go into the custom options and select anything that mentions MIDI/mid.
Hmmm, I installed the QT+iTunes & suggested you try the vers. w/o iTunes, as it is smaller. Maybe you need the iTunes to play MIDI files.
That is what I did to get things working on my XP laptop. Here are the final sizes for my install (from C:\Programs):
Quicktime folder, 73 megabytes
iTunes folder, 48 megabytes
