The quicktime plugin handling of wav files is very, very poor and winamp sounds much better. Even if after I set 'audio/x-wav' mime type to be handled by winamp Mozilla gives a message that 'the type can be handled internally and it will not change it'. Thus, I am stuck with quicktime doing wav files. There needs to be a way for the user to have final say on what application handles types. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install mozilla, and quicktime 2. Go to Edit>Preferences>Helper Apps>"audio/x-wav", change to handle by winamp 3. try downloading a wav file ( dictionary.com if you have an account ) Actual Results: quicktime plays the wav file Expected Results: winamp should play the wav file
if you want to change which plugin handles a certain type, that's bug 19118 if you want to handle a certain type that mozilla could handle internally in an external app, that's bug 58554 I believe you want the latter, marking so. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 58554 ***
