To revert to the old behavior, look for the file nsHelperAppDlg.js in "c:\program files\bon echo\components" for nightly builds, or "c:\program files\mozilla firefox\components" for 2.0b2.
Use an editor or Notepad to edit the file. Search for:Code: Select all
hide feature
You will see the code as per below:Code: Select all
...
if (shouldntRememberChoice && noDefaultApp) {
// hide featured choice
this.mDialog.document.getElementById("normalBox").collapsed = true;
// show basic choice
...
Change the true to false & save the file. Re-start ff / bon echo.

This was the only useful information in this whole thread! Thanks for doing that. Now all file extensions are extension are opening with application I programmed in windows. It work but don't really have the choice of program to open with thought.
This pissed me off because I use it to program harmony remotes which is web based. They have java software but slow and I just use the text based webpage version to program them.
They send out different ext for different things you need to do. Also there is two version of software 4.0 for older remotes and 6.0 for newer ones, they use same ext but not compatible. I have customer with different versions of remotes so if I'm programming and open file dialog come out I manually choose which version to open with and everything work for me. Yesterday I want to add some features to remote at customer place with FF 2.0 What a nighmare it was! I had to use IE to program it!!!
