Guest Talal Itani Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hello. I use Firefox browser. When I click on an MP3 download link, Quicktime starts, yet my Quicktime seems to be broke, as it does not play anything. I want to change the plug-in to Windows Media Player. How do I do that? Thanks

Guest Ron Badour Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Re: FireFox Quicktime Problem Find an .mp3 file in Windows Explorer, right click and select Open With. Browse to WPM, mark the always use block and click OK. This will reset the mp3 file association to WMP. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Talal Itani" <titani@verizon.net> wrote in message news:TxOri.7738$8u1.6297@trnddc07... > > Hello. > > I use Firefox browser.

Well, I made a mistake by posting my question here. But why are you happy for me? Why do you believe that the others are happy form me? Are you happy because my software is not running well?

When I did what you recommended, the check-box: always use the selected program to open this kind of file, is grayed out, disabled.

In FF, click Tools, Options, Content, and under File Types, click the Manage button. in the Download Actions dialog, see if the file type is listed, and click Change Action to select how you want FF to handle the file type. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

WoW. I looked for it, and I searched for it, and I ignored it, for a long time. Not it is fixed. Thank You! That Did It!

Guest Bob I Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: FireFox Quicktime Problem Quicktime hijacks file types when it is installed. SO first either uninstall Quicktime, or open Quicktime and "uncheck" all the file types that you don't want it to handle. THEN go set the application that you want to handle the MP3's as default.
