FireFox Problems

All Sorted Now - Thanks

Hi Guys,

I uploaded an attachment in this post:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...&postcount=998

For some reason whenever I click on the link in the post (to open the attachment) FireFox goes mad and starts continually opening new tabs.

Left to its own devices it just carries on opening new (blank) tabs and never opens the file.

Anybody else had a similar problem.

Be warned, I'm taking no responsibility for people borking their browsers trying to open the link.

Re: FireFox Problems

something isn't handling the file properly. check your plugins.

what action is associated with .wav files under tools > options > downloads?

Re: FireFox Problems

No problems, solved it now.

For some reason .wav files within FF were set to be opened using firefox.exe

Just removed the association from within FireFox (Tools > Options > Downloads) and all is sorted.

Re: FireFox Problems

It worked okay for me. Have you got the filetype set up okay in options -> downloads?
