Whe selecting Mozilla FireFox as the default application for .tga graphic files,
FireFox crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a graphic file with a .tga extentions
2. Right click and select "open with"
3. Select Firefox as the default application to open the .tga file
4. Crash

Actual Results:  
the browser locks up and crashes, have to ctrl-alt-del to kill the process.

Expected Results:  
Either 1. Displayed the Image in the Browser window. or 2. Return messagebox
that states its not a vaild extention or file.
Could you please upload a .tga file (preferably a small one) that shows this
problem (using the create new attachement)
Cannot upload tga file, the only one I generate are 1.8 megs, your file utility
only supports 300k.
targas typically compress well, zip the file up and attach the zip.
Zipped the file is 800k and using rar compression it is 694k.
Are you able to supply a Talkback ID?
I cannot provide a talkback id as talkback is not installed.
Must be fixed asap

chris@thecongo.co.uk: why must a bug that has no testcase and no stacktrace and
is not triaged be fixed asap?

reporter: please email a zip'd tga to timeless@gmail.com
Zipped targa file mailed to timeless@gmail.com as requested
I'm unable to reproduce this with Firefox 1.0.6 or 1.5b2 and Quicktime 6.5.1.

Kevin - do you know what plugin is handling .tga files and it's version?
I just tried it in 1.07 and the bug seems fixed. Don't know about earlier
version's and it looks like quicktime is handleing the plugin. I know when I
first reported this quicktime would NOT work with FireFox. I totaly forgot about
this until the recent flurry of posts in the last 2 days.

Thanks.
