When I download a torrent file, I get the window that says 'You have chosen to open:...... which is: torrent File. What should Firefox to with this file? I can chose to save the file or Open With... and I browse to Tixati. However, the box that gives the option to do this automatically with files like this from now on is grayed out. Torrent files are not listed on the Applications in Options. This works fine in IE, but not in Firefox. What can I do?

For further information, I made uTorrent my default torrent file and Firefox immediately gave the option of opening with uTorrent. As Tixati is a better program for this purpose with an increasing number of users, Firefox needs to enable default opening with Tixati.
