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

When I go to a website with streaming audio and click on the link, the "open
with" dialog box opens and shows me that realplayer is the default. I want to
use xmms, so I click on the dropdown list and select "other". As soon as I click
on other, the browser freezes and I have to force quit to close it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.bellyup4blues.com
2. Click on MP3 stream link
3. When "open with" dialog box displays, select other to use alternate program

Actual Results:  
Browser freezes

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to browse for alternate program to use for this mp3 stream, such as
xmms for example.

I have a screenshot if this will be helpful. I am running Fedora Core 3 using Gnome.

Could you retry.

Workarround is to wget the pls file and view it with a textviewer. The IP in
there can be entered into xmms.
