Open with "do this automatically" doesnt remember

Robert H, does it affect OTHER file types? I suspect torrents... more succinctly, torrent servers, which don't actually serve files, but database query replies wrapped in a file wrapper, ... blah blah blah... I've had the same problem always... but only with Torrent files... and NOT set to open, set to SAVE... where it shouldn't matter about the application, or even specifically the mime type, only that it consistently reports as the same sort of file... which I question.
Just my mad stab at reasoning out a problem I sympathize with...

When I installed Mime Type Editor 0.2 (after getting a "Software installation is currently disabled. Click Edit Options... to enable it and try again" and hunting around for the controls to enable) and checked the configuration for WebConnect files (that's where I experience this problem daily) I found it made no difference. Suppose I need to get rid of the automatic handling setting in Preferences first? I'm running FF 1.5 in Mac OS 10.3.9.

Robert, I'm in another thread related to this... Jon seems very helpful in at least explaining why this is...

I have the Firefox problem too. But I just found out though a case of inattention that it may not really be a problem.
The "browse" button showed up instead of the azurueus.exe that I had previously chosen for a Mininova file, and I clicked "OK" without thinking, and the torrent started downloading in Azureus!
Warning: I already had Azureus running on another torrent, so this may not work all the time. I'll try it again later from a cold start of Azueus with a new Mininova torrent and find out.

Yes, I have found that the dialog box comes up and all i have to do is click ok and it starts, but I want FF to do this automatically, like it used to, and is supposed to. I can't believe that there are not a lot of people with the same issue.
Mozilla doesnt take direct cust support emails, i dont think.. Unfortunate

I know what you mean... Sorry, I don't have the bug # here. Try searching https://bugzilla.mozilla.org

As a side note (I have the same problem) SOME of my mpg's will open in the quicktime plugin automatically (a blank window with only the qt movie) but other will prompt for the save files/open with... option.
Is there an explanation on why some mpg files will open correctly and some won't, or is it all associated with the bug for not remembering the "do this automatically" option?
(To note, I'm having problems with my download actions being blank and the "open with... from now on" options as well)

outback_bonzer: I think that this is not related to this bug, since it "sometimes" works. However, I bet it's not random, I'd think this has to do with the MIME types they're served as. Can you give us examples of a working and a non-working files? Please start another thread and just post back the link here, let's not hijack this thread.
