If I try to load again the page then mozilla seems to remember I have clicked "cancel" previously and just load the page. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
and what's the bug ? The .wav plays on my system because i have a plugin that handles .wav (in my case quicktime)
the bug is that mozilla should not open an emtpy window: there's no reason to do so and confuses the user. and I also have some doubts about the handling of the javascript code: it seems that the script tries to pre-load the wav files, not to play them immediately, so I think that mozilla should not ask the user about the program to use to play .wav files until it is really necessary. under ie6 the wav is played only when the mouse is positioned on a certain image. if the user doesn't move the mouse pointer onto that image them i think mozilla should stay quiet and don't bother the user. and I have notes that mozilla doesn't render a part of the page: the left frame is completely missing, instead I see a white emtpy space.
Hi Michele, are you still experiencing the problem with .wav files in recent Mozilla builds? I went to the site you linked, and it doesn't open any kind of window. I can't tell if a wav file is playing as this machine has no sound card, I can take another look later. Thanks for any additional information.
Resolving WFM, it's been over 5 months without a response and I cannot reproduce the bug as described. If it is still affecting you in recent builds, please feel free to reopen.
