Close SeaMonkey, go into your profile folder and * rename * 'mimeTypes.rdf' to mimeTypes.rdf_bak. Restart SeaMonkey and then try the link. You should then get the popup allowing you to select always ask. In the newly created mimeTypes.rdf file you then should find an entry similar to this: > </RDF:Description> > <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:application/x-bzip" > NC:alwaysAsk="true" > NC:saveToDisk="true"> > <NC:externalApplication > RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/x-bzip"/> _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
