265624 - problem opening .wav file received as an attachment on webmail

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[admin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 Windows;U;Windows NT; 5.1;rv:1.7.3

I receive .wav files for voicemail from vonage.  I can open them fine and hear 
the whole message in explorer.  When I try to do the same in the Firefox 
browser, only the first second of the file plays.  The rest is cut off.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Send a .wav file through webmail.
2.  Try to open it by left clicking on it.

Actual Results:  
Only the first second of the .wav file plays.

Expected Results:  
It should have played the whole .wav file.

I called Vonage--my voice mail provider--and walked through it with them.  It 
is not a problem on their end because the .wav file works when I open it in 
Internet Explorer.

how is this file played? is it played within a browser window, or does a
separate application open?
