Here's what the 'bad' file may look like:
<key>video/quicktime</key>
<dict>
<key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>mov</string>
<string>qt</string>
<string>mov</string>
<string>qt</string>
<string>mqv</string>
</array>
<key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
<string>QuickTime Movie</string>
<key>WebPluginTypeEnabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>
Change that to:
<key>video/quicktime</key>
<dict>
<key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>mov</string>
<string>qt</string>
<string>mqv</string>
</array>
<key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
<string>QuickTime Movie</string>
<key>WebPluginTypeEnabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>
