file association

I am positive that this is posted somewhere around here but I can't seem to come up witht the exact search phrase.

I have accidentally associated mpg's with the wrong prgram. everytime I try to view an mpg online I get a d/l box, the file comes in but because the program is not xine it never opens and runs. How do I unassociate the format from the particular program?

In which particular program are you? :)
I mean, what's the browser the problem
occurs with.

Cheers,
Tink

tools-options-extensions?

not sure cuz I don't use firebird much, in reg mozilla it is edit-prefs--helper applications and then clear or individually edit.

In Firebird they haven't included this in the menu... No I dea why not..

u need to edit the mimeTypes.rdf file in you Firebird profiles folder (.phoenix/user/xxxxxx.slt) or much easier download the Things they left out extension from http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions.html.

THis'll create a"MOre options" option in the Tools menu with stuff like MIme type association in it.

good luck
