Not sure where I found it - this list I think "In the past, you could tell mozilla how to handle a media file. They changed in Firefox, but there's a way to bring that feature back. In Firefox, type about:config at the url and find browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions Double click on it to set it to false. Then under Edit->Preferences->Downloads you should see all the media types and (theoretically) you could change the player. I didn't mess with that but it might just be the feature we want." John
