Hello,

When I change the mime-type to 'application/vlc', thereby forcing the
use of the Totem plugin and vlc, the same thing occurs.

Also, I noticed exactly the same with Firefox 2 under Windows, with
the Quicktime plugin.
(Opera/Windows and IE6/Windows, both with Quicktime do not show
this behaviour.)

This suggests, that it not something new in FF3.

Kind regards,

Menno Tjoelker
