Restore QuickTime 6.1 functionality in Safari Web Browsers
After installing QuickTime 6.1, the QuickTime plug in quit working for me in Safari. I found that I had an older QuickTime plug-in in ~/Library -> Internet Plug-Ins (in my home directory), and the new one in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. I removed the one in my home directory, and the new 6.1 plug-in is now recognized and QuickTime now works in Safari.

I was getting constant crashes with Quicktime movies in Safari and this hint solved my problem.

Did you folks manually copy the QuickTime Plugin into you Home directories Internet Plug-ins folder? Because by default the QT plugin should only install in /Library/Internet Plug-ins, and not in ~Library/Internet Plug-ins.

Same prob here

Exactly the same situation here...two different versions of the QT plug-in. And, per the hint, trashing the QT 6.0.4 plug-in in my Users folder "fixed" things. I've been assuming (incorrectly it appears) all along it was a Safari problem with the beta.

More information needed

The QuickTime installer should never install the plug-in into ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/, it should always go into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. If anyone finds a copy of the QuickTime plug-in in ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/, and you did not put there yourself, please save the file into another directory and email me the plug-in's version information so we can track down how this happened.
