Thanks to those who responded. It is not a 100 percent repeatable bug but most report it. The jury is out about whether it is naughty Mozilla or apple. I've made a noise at Mozilla's forum and Real has logged a bug with apple.
Re: quicktime or firefox bad?
Have you tried going into Firefox's Preferences. Under the downloads section you can set actions for downloaded files. If something is confused causing Quicktime to be the default then explicitly selecting your Real Player app here may help. Greg Sharp

I have quicktime 6.5.2 on Hard Drive, but only loaded RealPlayer recently , possibly after quicktime update . When I copied your url into firefox it asked me what to do with the resultant file ... so I told it to use RealPlayer for that and all similar type files. As a consequence when using Firefox both of the url's about pollie open and run in Realplayer Hope that helps Bob

Howdy, Is there anyone with the latest Quicktime - 6.5.2 with time to go to this page and see how their Firefox 1.0 handles the RealPlayer downloads at the top of the page? http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4184261 My setup allowed me full choice of media players before I installed the latest quicktime. With the latest installation, the Firefox download dialogue calls Quicktime the default for any Real mime types and won't recognise the Realplayer on my m/c I have fixed the problem by making the filetype download automatically as a quicktime type and then going in to the Firefox download dialogue and editing it in the special handling. I am interested in reporting the behaviour to Firefox but not if it is only my private bug. thanks in advance, Nancy M -- eMac 10.3.6 Build 7R28 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 768 MB DDR SDRAM
