I saved the .mid file to my hard drive and tried to open it with mozilla. It gave me a dialog with this information: The file "#3" is of type "#2" (#1) and #4 does not know how to handle this file type. This file is located at: What should Mozilla do with this file? Open it with the default application Open it with Save it to disk I don't think this is normal. When I select the default application option I get a message that says "/home/michael/FF6opera.mid could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. The trouble is that I've never used a helper application to play .mid files - I've always used mozilla Why didn't the first dialog show the filename correctly instead of all those funky #n things? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
