Hi All,
I'm using Fedora 7 with firefox-2.0.0.10-2.fc7.
Whenever I try to download an mp3 the file opens in Firefox and starts
playing instead of asking me what I want to do with the file. i
thought this might be the mplayerplug-in at work but removing the
plugin with yum made no change.
I tried Preferences--> Content--> File Types--> Manage but no file
types are listed and I can't add any.
Does nyone know how to tell Firefox what to do with an mp3 file?
Thanks
Here is what you can do. I wish Mozilla would fix this. Go to
about:config in firefox.
Change the configuration Of:
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions from true to false by
clicking on it.
Then: Preferences--> Content--> File Types--> Manage
will display which programs handle which file types.
Thanks for that Aaron. I've been through that fiasco above before, and had
forgotten the fix. It's all the more annoying, as I've just looked in my
notes on Firefox problems, and see that I'd written the fix down. Doh!
I hope Francis, the OP is still reading the thread.
Nigel.
