Firefox , how to change how it handles a file type

lurkio · 10 Feb 2011 at 14:29

Hi Folks,
Ye olde version of firefox has the ability to allow you to change
how it deals with a particular file type eg save to disk , send it to an app etc

Does anyone know how to do this with latest version 3.6 ?

Is there an addon to help with this ?

Iam have a webpage with links to .vnc files that I want to execute
all that happens at the moment is that it displays the contents of teh
file in the browser window as text

Now can you point out where exactly the Add new button is ?

Then Iam sorted

Nope sadly this wont do it , it does not ask about .vnc types at all it just displays it

First link: no use , the options it asks for are not in the about:config list

so i cannot create a new file type

Second link: no use, it is not being served by a HTTP server .html file is on a network drive
eg file://///blah/ blah/blah.html

God i wish I could find an addon to help with this

Thanks for trying tho
