Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 285319

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[keith.freeman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7

When you click on a "Listen Now" music link anywhere in www.allmusic.com,
Firefox opens a blank page in your current tab (headed "amg.dll (video/x-ms-asf
Object)") in order to launch the default mp3 player. So every time you listen to
a track you have to click Back in order to see where you were! IE doesn't do this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open www.allmusic.com
2. Click on any Listen Now link (loudspeaker icon).
3. 

Actual Results:  
Firefox exited the web page and replaced my current tab window with a blank one,
headed "amg.dll (video/x-ms-asf Object)" in order to launch the default mp3 player.

Expected Results:  
Launched the default mp3 player without exiting the web page.

This WFM. I the files are not mp3s, but rather asf music files. You need to set
some program (usually WMP) to handle these files. Possibly a dupe of bug 241972.
