Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Hi,
using the great Firefox3, I've noticed that a buggy behaviour that was
present in Firefox2 is still occuring.
In a nutshell, what happens to me is that firefox does not always
remember the application association that has been previously set.
For example, during web surfing I open a WMV video, and I choose to play
it with the Totem plugin. I obviously check the option to remember this
association.
Now, in the beginning the videos are correctly played with Totem plugin.
After some time, though, Firefox keeps asking me which application to
used to open those files. If I go to the Application section of Firefox
preferences, I FIND the entry that associate WMV -> Totem plugin - but
it seems that it is taken into consideration by firefox.
Note: the "open with" popup windows has the remember option already
checked, when it comes up. As I said early, I've experimented this issue
also with firefox 2.0.
Let me know if I can help to track down this issue. I'm using Hardy up-
to-date as of now.
