User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0

I am running Fedora Core 3 with RPM install of firefox.  I have added RealPlay
10 Gold to my system (via RPM from the helix website).  When attempting to play
a live stream from Shoutcast.com, the default plugin (Rhythmbox) does not work,
so I attempt to chose an alternate application by selecting 'Open With'->'Other'
and firefox freezes.  I have to force a quit and restart the application.
I have also sent a bug report to Gnome regarding the rhythmbox problem.
The realplay plugin was working with the prerelease version of firefox that
comes with the default FC3, and has only started to crash since upgrading to the
latest RPM version.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto www.shoutcast.com
2.Click on any 'Tune in' link
3.select Open With->Other

Actual Results:  
Hang

Expected Results:  
Open file selection dialogue

Can you reproduce this with the official mozilla.org binaries?  I know the
Fedora RPM uses the GTK filepicker, which hasn't has as much testing time as we
wanted for the official release.  As a note, please file bugs on Fedora RPM
packages directly in Red Hat's Bugzilla unless you can also reproduce this in
official Mozilla builds.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
