When saving from a website, we should be using the content-type they send us, not the extension. What content-type is listed in that dialog?

Hmm.... would you be willing to look up some registry entries for me?

1) What is the value of "Extension" under the key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/ofx"? 2) What is the value of "application/ofx" under the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Suffixes"? 3) What are the keys/values under the key "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ofx"? I suspect I know what the problem is at this point, but this is my first serious look at the windows helper app code (I do the Unix stuff usually), so please bear with me....
1. No entry under this key. 2. As with 1. 3. 2 values: 1. (default) REGSZ ofx.Document 2. Content Type REGSZ text/ofx 1 Key : ofx.Document with 1 value (dafault) REG_SZ (value not set) and 1 Key ShellNew (dafault) REG_SZ (value not set). Interestingly there is an entry application/x-ofx under MIME.

OK. So the problem is that nsOSHelperAppService::GetFromExtension on windows never sets the app to anything useful... this is fine if the dialog does not come up, since it does the lookup for the app in LaunchWithTempFile and launches it. But if the dialog _does_ come up, it doesn't have the appname in it... Bug 86640 may help by offering a "open in default app" option on the dialog. jesup, you want this in case 86640 does not help?
Depends on: 86640

Gary, I checked in a patch just now that should help this... Could you possibly try tomorrow morning's build?
Boris, would be glad to. I am new to Mozilla so if you don't hear from me, I am trying to find the build ;-).

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest you want one of the mozilla-win32 builds (likely mozilla-win32-installer-sea.exe). Just make sure the timestamp is from 01/12/03 or later. ;)

All is not well with this fix. I have been trying open other default MIME types and and getting the full exception: The instruction at 0x61e18fe6 referenced memory at "0x00000004". The memory could not be "read". I am getting this from web based URLS but also simply navigating on my local drive to a MSWORD document, clicking on it and selecting Open With Dafault. I am marking as "reopened".

Sorry I should always try that *last* thing before writing a bug report. I used the installer exe to install the latest build from yesterday and it is working OK now ....

This was working for me for a while, but has broken in the last week or two, in both the 1.3 branch builds (both release candidates), and the trunk (2003031108). I currently get the behaviour that whether I select "default application" or type in the app manually the download window just disppears with no action taken when it finishes. I believe the first release candidate was when the problem started. My website serves the ofx file as "text/ofx", rather than "application/ofx", if that makes a difference. Seeing as how "application/x-ofc" works fine for me still, the 'text' being the problem seems like a reasonable assumption. I contacted Gary directly and he indicated that it is still working fine for him on 2003031108. I'm on Windows 2000, MS Money 98.

Matthew, sounds like you're seeing a different bug. Could you please file it, cc me, attach your mimeTypes.rdf file, and point to a URL that fails?
