Using Firefox 3.6.8 with Win XP SP3 with auto updates.

After years of being able to go to Amazon.com and click on an mp3 preview button (streams m3u format), I can no longer do so in my user account - I get a "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog. Clicking on the link works fine if I log in as admin - it plays seamlessly. When I look in my user account Options -> Applications form as non-admin, I see "M3U file" listed in Content Type. Action is "Always ask." That Content type is not listed in the admin account's browser's list.

It frustrates me to NO END when things that worked perfectly fine no longer work.

Please advise!!!!

After looking at another post (How do I remove a filetype from the Applictions Menu), I succeeded in removing m3u from my Application's Content Type in my user-account but it did not solve my problem. I still get a "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog.

Crap!!!
