The key here is the support for Apple Quicktime format (.mov). May I ask
why are you interested in that media container?

Quicktime should dissapear in the same way flashplayer should. That said,
it's ages since I have not opened a mov file (neither locally nor embedded
inside html code) though my "about:plugins" page says it could be possible:

The Totem 2.22.2 plugin handles video and audio streams.
