    Smile How do I change what program will be used with a file I have downloaded?

    I have selected to use totem for some radio stations I listen to. But I want to change that. I have looked all around in the settings firefox, but can't find the solution.
    Any ideas?
    This is FF3 if you need to know.
    I want to change it to mplayer.
    And to tell, I am not talking about the plugin... just the external player.

    Try going to Edit>Preferences>Applications

    From there you can set to use external applications instead of plugins.

    you would think... but the list is blank... not one thing is listed there. That was the first place I went to look. :S
