SL viewers use QtWebKit for the internal browser. (Note: The Qt does NOT stand for QuickTime.)

NOTE: In order to play Flash format videos (eg YouTube videos), you must have the generic Adobe Flash plugin installed. If you use IE as your web browser and already have Flash, you will need to get the generic Flash plugin; see here. linux users need to have gstreamer installed, with the “bad” plugin set.  

There are reports that recent Quicktime updates actually cause problems, giving plugin errors. If this is the case for you, then remove Quicktime entirely from your system, then reinstall it.

When you ask a tech question include information about your computer and viewer. If the viewer will at least show the login screen, get the info from the viewer's Help-About... and paste that into your post with your question. Help->About... provides all the version numbers we need.  To add your info to an existing question use OPTIONS->EDIT. It’s in the upper right of your post.

If you are on WIndows, try installing the Safari Browser. It uses more WebKit stuff and the install can make some of the registry entries that may be missing from your system.

Also, close the viewer and visit the SL Web Sites with your prefered browser from out side the viewer. Visit these sites:

https://my.secondlife.com/

http://search.secondlife.com/ 

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/

Visiting will force certificate updates, which sometimes are a problem for the viewer's browser.

Regardless of how you set the viewer to see web sites, the WebKit will be the browser used to open profiles, search, and other web services.
