Firefox Save Dialog is taken over by Vista's Save Dialog


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I just noticed that Vista is now handling all the Save Dialogs within Firefox, essentially disabling Firefox's own. Now I can't associate torrent files with utorrent.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

In Firefox, Goto Tools, Options, Content Tab, File Types - Manage Button, and goto .torrent and change it to what you want to.

...so what exactly is the problem?

When you download a .torrent, can't you just change the program association? That way, if you changed it to utorrent, all .torrent files you download in the future will be associated (and open with) utorrent.

It's only happening on btjunkie, not on the pirate bay. Explain that!

On piratebay, for instance, it works. I click, it downloads, it opens (no extra interaction).

isock86: it's listed and associated.

sp3ctranova/evolution: this is also associated.

Is anyone else having this problem?

hmmm the only thing I can suggest is for you to constantly update through nightly builds until firefox fixes the issue :/ ...even if the issue is partly a websites fault.

I think it must be the URL.

...:: Comparison ::...

PirateBay: http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/3634012/ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.3634012.TPB.torrent
BTJunkie: http://db2.btjunkie.org/torrent?do=download&id=3184ed8ab7fb3a4cd34e648e48a40f8fdd97a4f540d2.torrent

that's ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso.3634012.TPB.torrent versus torrent?do=download&id=3184ed8ab7fb3a4cd34e648e48a40f8fdd97a4f540d2.torrent

That's probably the "problem."

This must be a redirector. hummm

Can someone test this?

Any Firefox coders out there?

Thanks for all your help,

Matt
