try this:
"In the past, you could tell mozilla how to handle a media file. They
changed in Firefox, but there's a way to bring that feature back. In
Firefox, type about:config at the url and find
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions
Double click on it to set it to false. Then under
Edit->Preferences->Downloads you should see all the media types

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the double lock will keep; May no
