Just installed Firefox version 99 on my Linux Mint OS. When I get an email with a video, I cannot open it. I go to Settings and try to change the application preferences, but there is no option to select my video player (Celluloid). Likewise for other applications, they are not recognized and I do not know how to link them. My previous Firefox version automatically recognized plug-ins and they were available as an option. Help!

The first link below may help. Linux Mint apparently applies a policies.json to its Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file#w_changing-download-actions https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
