187718 - When I try to download any binary file, mozilla always opens the file instead of saving it

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I used to use Mozilla 1.0, whenever i would click on a link to an mp3 file. It
would ask me where I wanted to save the file. I installed the new version,
1.2.1, and whenever I click on a link for an mp3 file, it opens the file in
mozilla like it was a web browser. I cannot find a way to save the file by default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on any link for an mp3 file
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The mp3 file is opened, it looks all wild.

Expected Results:  
What it used to do. Prompt me where to  save the file.

I do not know if I accidently made Mozilla open the files by default. I already
tried to RESET the download manager.

Please give us an example URL.
This sounds like a misconfigured server that sends the mime-type text/plain for
that file. (yes it works in IE because it vialotes the RFC)

Reporter : 
You mean that mozilla plays this file ?

Reasons for this :
a) you have a plugin that plays mp3.
see help/about plugins
(you can configure quicktime in the system control [mime type] that it should
not handle mp3s)

b) helper app in edit\pref..\Navigator\Helper apps

You don't need to uninstall quicktime !
Go to the windows system control, quicktime, Browser Plugin , Mime settings and
disable .mp3 for quicktime
After that restart mozilla and it should work.
