Not sure if there's anything we can do here based on the information given,
but...
Slashdot comment on 0.9.1:
" At work we have an Jukebox with a custom application we wrote to send PHP
files of xmms playlists.
From version .7 to .9, Mozilla was unable to launch XMMS automatically.
The "M" icon chugged a little bit then nothing. In order to make this work, I
had to set the Helper App setting to prompt me every time and click "Open
Using...", even though /usr/bin/xmms is right there. An annoying step, but one
I was willing to live with, expecting it would be fixed soon.
As of .91, I no longer have this problem. No matter what my helper app
settings are, when I click on a playlist, I get the "Save File As" dialog.
Great job 3L33T Mozilla Script Kiddies!"
No doubt these "PHP files of xmms playlists" have an extension that is
"executable" (has an extension that is executed directly in a standard Win32
installation). Working as designed, unfortunately.
The user should be able to override this safety measure by creating an
appropriate helper app pref entry for the mime type and un-checking the "always
ask me" box. That would bypass the dialog, which is where the check is for the
file extension.
Then forget what I said.
The only way you should go straight to the "Save File As..." dialog is if we
find a helper app pref entry for the mime-type, and, find that you've set the
action to "save to disk" and have unchecked the "always ask me before opening
files of this type" checkbox.
If that's not the case, it's a bug. We need to know the mime type, what you've
got in your helper app prefs, and the url, if possible.

Confirmed on Buildid 2001060811 (0.9.1) on Linux (This is not a Win2k bug)
It seems Mozilla ignore the "Ask me before opening downloaded files of this
type" properties..

I'm having the exact same problem with mozilla 0.91 using the following:
M3U
audio/x-mpegurl
xmms %s
with "Ask me before downloading" unchecked.
It makes it impossible for me to reasonably stream mp3s on mp3.com.
In all versions of Mozilla I've used, it has yet to correctly allow streaming of
mp3s on Linux.

->mscott, since bill is on sabbatical. punt as needed.
some info:
bug 84241 disabled the "Ask me before..." checkbox in *only* commercial builds.
bug 48948 claims that the "Ask me before..." checkbox should work. this bug
implies that it isn't.

hokay, did a bit of testing. thx to jrgm, i've got an mp3 file which is actually
served out as mp3 [well, as audio/mpeg --sorry about this being an internal
url].
so, i set up a helper app with the following settings [using a linux mozilla
debug from 6/14]:
extension: mp3
mime: audio/mpeg
application: /usr/bin/xmms
deselected [turned off] the "Ask me before opening..." checkbox
result: when i click on the test url
http://jrgm.mcom.com/bugs/mimetypes/lemon_lane.mp3, XMMS launches automatically.
is this still a problem with anyone else? if so, please give me an exact example
[ie, mime, extension, and a specific url pointing to a sample file].
