http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1202847 Bug ID: 1202847 Summary: Firefox shows download files with file extension m3u as mxu file Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: factory-mozilla@lists.opensuse.org Reporter: mailings@merkel-online.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Download of a file like "name.m3u" is shown by Firefox in Tumbleweed as "name.mxu" which has certain implications when opened with vlc. Tumbleweed snapshot 20220826, Firefox V103.0.2 Same behavior on two Tumbleweed installs on separate physical machines of which one is a fresh install . On Leap 15.2 (as VM on Tumbleweed) Firefox shows extension m3u - also Firefox(V104.0) snap works. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Typically that type of file associations are not handled within Firefox. So a first guess is that some mime data is different in TW. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Not sure whether there are servers in the internet that serve out m3u links that you could try. vdradmind is configured to serve out m3u files and those are received well by all firefox browsers except for the ones running natively on TW. As I mentioned a snap version on the same TW runs without problem. The download dialog on native firefox shows a vdradmind.mxu file while the snap version firefox shows vdradmin.m3u. I only noticed there is a problem because vlc did not play certain files. Regrettably only after some time, so I can't pinpoint when this problem occured first. When vlc does not play certain files it complains about garbage in the input - which turned out to be Umlauts in the description of the link within the m3u/mxu link respectively. The contents of such a m3u/mxu file look like this: #EXTINF:0,BR Fernsehen S�d HD http://192.168.178.15:3000/6 If this is sent by firefox to vlc with filetype m3u this file is opened by vlc, if sent as filetype mxu vlc complains about garbage ("�") - I figured out vlc considers m3u utf8 while mxu is not. So question is what causes firefox to change the file extension from m3u to mxu? br Juergen -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
