gettin' tired of it? installing xtensions & themes no go

Post by sgipan »

I can't find a thread to the following problem, though I can't imagine it hasn't been encountered before and dealt with:

Whenever I want to install a theme or an extension Phoenix asks:
"What do you want to do with this file?"
- Open with default application (selecting this will lead to w2k asking me what application to use and then selecting Phoenix will lead to it asking what I want to do with this file..... :roll: ),
- Open using....,
- Save to disk (if I do this and later try to open it via Open File, I'm being asked "What do you want to do with this file?")
Read somewhere that sometimes you can just drop the file on the browser window but no go, either.

Ah, sometimes I just get character garbage on the screen, no idea what it depends upon whether I get "What do you want to do...?" or the garbage.

Using 20030117 on w2k, but the problem has been occurring for weeks. Just never got around to look into it.

Any help/link appreciated.
Regards,

Thanx, finally got than one straight. I already voted for it (do it here: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/votes.cgi?a ... _id=187126).
Has anybody heard anything about plans to fix it?
