But it will only use WMP. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set network.protocol-handler.external.mms to true 2.set network.protocol-handler.app.mms to /Applications/VLC.app 3. newtwork.protocol-handler.expose.all is set to true (default) 4.restart firefox 5. type mms:// in url window Actual Results: External Protocol Request window appears which says Application: Windows Media Player. Expected Results: External Protocol Request window should have said Application: VLC
Using the moreinternet preference pane from http://www.monkeyfood.com/software/MoreInternet/ I was able to get vlc to open mms protocol
