Chosen solution

MPlayer used by Gecko media player can play almost anything, including QT mov files (3D files or panorama files will probably fail).

Maybe a browser plugin such as gecko-mediaplayer may help in this case (install using the package manager).

Is QuickTime (or equivalent) available for Linux? The MOV extension often indicates a QuickTime-compatible encoding.

problem is firefox does not allow explicit management of file types in preferences/applications !! what a bad joke. Netscape allowed easy editing of any file type. even after installing the gecko I kept getting ridiculous messages like "Python 2.7 needs to install plugins for decoding text/html" I had a lot of respect for Firefox, but apparently they are as mediocre as the rest. anyway, the solution: remove totem and all of its plugins. install the gecko. now it works.
