When i klick on a link for a video files (for example a .wmv File) it opens a new tab and starts playing it, instead of giving me a dialog what it should do with the File so that i can either download it or play it with an external player. I already set all the video files in the "options -> Applications" screen to "Always ask", but instead of asking me, it's simply playing them.

What can i do to prevent firefox from playing videos?

You might want to try this.

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Applications

In the search box, type or paste media and wait until the list is filtered. Where you see "Windows Media player" on the right side, trying changing it to "Always Ask".

Does that fix it?

Tahnks, but that doesn't help me at all. As i said, i already changed all to "Always Ask", when i Filter for media i get 5 results where each says "Always Ask", so thats not the cause...

I realized yesterday that this does not happen with all formats, it happens with wmv but not with avi... but still dont know y -.-
