Install Firebird 0.7 2. Install mplayerplug-in (http://mplayerplug-in.sf.net 3. Visit http://alxxx.altervista.org/video.wmv Actual Results: The file is downloaded into the browser window Expected Results: URL should be passed to the plugin for processing.
Can you try this with a nightly branch build? I know there's a fix for this at least for Win32...
Tried with both Firebird and Mozilla nightly builds. Behavior is different. Mozilla pops up a dialog saying I don't know what to do with mime type application/octet-stream and then asks if I want to save the file or cancel. So it is better, but not quite what I expect.

fix your server, we aren't going to make this workaround even more extensive.

Not my server, but I get bug reports for the plugin due to this issue. I'm still wondering why you need to put suffix's with the mime type that the plugin handles cause it looks like the suffix is never used.
