Yes, and apparently you can make Firefox not check compatibility and
sometimes the addons still work...

Well, the Skype problem is solved.  There was a new version of Skype and
after installing it, the plugin was automatically updated and Firefox
accepted the new version... :-)

I thought myself of Quicktime Alternative but have not yet tried out
whether it provides a plugin, too.  Did not need to look at a .mov file
yet...  Presumably, I can make Firefox download it instead of playing it
and then I could still use the regular Quicktime, because the program is
still there (and working, I hope). It is just the plugin that I cannot
use anymore. This should not be a big problem, as I rarely have to deal
with Quicktime movies.
