I enabled Firefox to "always do this with this file type" (wmv) that is to always save wmv (windows media video) files. Now I would like to change this back to "always ask me with this file type".

I've tried changing the Windows file types to always use windows media player and I changed the Firefox option to "always ask".

However, it now Asks me what I want to do and I click on "play with windows media player" but "it still saves the file" instead of using the player?

Can anyone help please?
