Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425 When you associate a mime type do an application the browser does not respect it. Sometimes it loads the file correctly once, but never open the application to handle that file again. Weird! Try to reproduce it by generating a simple HTML file with the following content: <HTML> <TITLE>This is a Test</title> <BODY> <embed src="./an_mp3_file.mp3" type="audio/mp3" autostart="true" controls="ImageWindow"></embed> </body> </html> Now open Mozilla and click on Edit -> Preferences -> Helper Applications -> New Type. Fill the edits with the following: MIME type: audio/mp3 Description: mp3 audio Extension: mp3 Check Open it With: c:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe (You will notice also that the "Allways ask me..." does not work either.) Click OK -> OK and type the URL of the HTML file you created first and voi-la! Nothing happens! This seems to be the same BUG as <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98084" target="new">98084</a> (Linux). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create the HTML as said 2. Configure your Browser as said 3. Try to open the HTML file created Actual Results: nothing! Expected Results: Open the file with the pointed application -OR- Ask me what to do (if checked)
