Firefox is blocking .wmv email attachments from opening
Firefox is blocking .wmv email attachments from opening on all three yahoo.com (classic, plus, and beta) email formats. When I click to open and view the email attachments, I no longer get the option to "Open or Save" this file, and it is automatically saved in my Win7 Download files.
This happened once before and the fix was to "X-cancel" an orange bar message saying that FF was blocking this file from opening. This message was located just under the top of the FF browser.
I do not see this message now.

Cor-el contributed the"Yahoo File" link to solve this problem. After reading and studying the info listed I went to FF "Applications" and changed the windowmedia audio/video from "default" to "always ask." And that was the fix. Now when I open an email attachment with a .wmv file, I click on "download" and then get the Option box of "Open or Save." Just what I wanted.
Thanks Cor-el
