Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.6.10-1
Severity: normal
When trying to view an wvx-file from
http://www.trafikverket.se/Privat/Projekt/Stockholm/E20-norra-lanken/Dokument/?tabId=17236
,
I only get an open-dialog with the options "Cancel" and "Save File",
I'm not allowed to select application.
The dialog say:
------------------------------------------------------
You have chosen to open
felstfilm_liten.wvx
which is a: Microsoft ASX playlist
from: http://www.trafikverket.se
Would you like to save this file?
Cancel Save file
------------------------------------------------------
Also, if I open the preferences/Application tab, an entry for
"Microsoft ASX playlist" exists. I can select an application, for an
example xine, but I still get the same Cancel/Save file dialog when
opening an wvx-file.

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
