Deleting the mimeTypes.rdf will reset all download actions to the default settings.

Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Hi Mr. FredMcD. Your instructions are not clear, so i don't know that file mimeTypes.rdf nor how could i reach to it. I have opened file browser and i didn't know what to do with it because your instructions are not step by step described so i left this and i have refreshed Firefox but nothing, the same problem still and sometimes freezing. Thanks my friend for your interesting. My best wishes

Hi Hassan35yo, you might first try changing your preferred email setting on the Options page, Applications list, under "mailto." Whatever link it is using now seems to be causing this problem, so I suggest setting it to "Ask me" for the time being.

See: Change the program used to open email links

Hopefully that will work. If it doesn't work, then the mimeTypes.rdf file is corrupted and you'll have to delete it.

Actually, it says "Always ask" and not "Ask me" but probably you figured that out.
