at the given pbs.org url, if you click any of the movie links labeled
"quicktime" the poppup window for the video appears and firefox crashes after it
loads quicktime. i've tested firefox 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 with quicktime 6.5 and
6.5.2 and all combinations crash. if quicktime is not installed, the page does
not crash. i tested this in IE and it crashes also, so it's undoubtedly a
problem with quicktime and the page/video, however i assume it should be
possible to let quicktime crash w/o bringing down the entire browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit the page
2.click a link labeled "quicktime"
3.firefox crashes

Actual Results:  
firefox crashed

Expected Results:  
not crashed
The bug itself is invalid (caused by quicktime).

That would be an enhancement request and it's a dupe.
