User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5

When I get a WAV file attachment via gmail, I get a popup titled "Opening message.wav"

You have chosen to open message.wav which is a: WAVE Audio File
from: https://mail.google.com

What should firefox do with this file?

(I choose "QuickTime" under "Open With (Choose..)")

and I check "Do this automatically for files like this from now on.

Then I click "OK"

BUT, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET A WAVE FILE ATTACHMENT VIA GMAIL.

This problem was also present in firefox 3.0.X


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a WAV file attachment via GMAIL
2. do the steps described above
3. sigh
Actual Results:  
Repeeated "Opening message.wav" dialogs

Expected Results:  
WAVE files opened with QuickTime

have a nice day!

You see this behaviour because Gmail uses the 'content-disposition: attachment' header for all its attachments. This header causes Firefox to always prompt for what to do. There are a dozen bugs filed on this, but bug 453455 might be most relevant.
