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.



What do you mean about:config ?
I don't understand this.

Thanks!




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.
