For some unknown reason, FireFox seems to believe Quicktime is the proper way to play all MP3 files from ytmnd.com.  This is NOT a sever-side issue because this works properly for WMP in both Opera and Internet Explorer.  FireFox is the ONLY browser thus far to suggest that QT or anything BESIDES windows media player is to be used for this page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit page

Actual Results:  
FireFox suggests I download Quicktime :(

Expected Results:  
FireFox should make due with Windows Media Player.

fresh installation, nothing installed yet except for this and my sound card drivers so I doubt this is a residual of QT floating around somewhere.

This is not a bug :)

This can be changed by doing the following:

Tools >> Options >> Downloads >> Download Actions >> View & Edit Actions

From there you can set the action fro the .mp3 file type to play in WMP :)

Also, another note: its Firefox not FireFox.

My point is that QT should not be the default because it's not really something most people have.  So, having such a round-about way to go about "fixing" it is a bit ridonculous :)

Those instructions are also not valid for 2.0 :/
