I had to doublecheck to make sure this isn't 64-bit because it launches as fast as Apple's 64-bit apps now since I installed it last night (via Firefox 3.6b2's built-in updater).

...and NO, libertyforall1776, it's NOT 64-bit, yet!

Still can not play Quicktime clips created by Apple's Quicktime X 'save for web' feature - Version: 3.6 beta 2, 11/12/2009 01:23PM PST

In Apple's Quicktime X, there is a 'save for web' feature which generates various video clips in different formats along with code to paste into your web page(s). Firefox is unable to display these videos (can play correctly with Internet Explore on a PC as well as Safari).
