Hi,

Please try deleting the in mimeTypes.rdf the Firefox Profile Folder after exiting Firefox. You can also open the profile folder via Firefox Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder, and exit Firefox. The file will be recreated at the next Firefox startup.

Firefox Profile Folder & Files

I did what you suggested but I'm not sure if it worked or not. When I click to download a file and I get the "you have chosen to open ...." message box, the browse button is still next to "open with". But if I press the OK button it does open the file in open office calc. I didn't try this before using your suggestion, so it could have helped or not.

The application chosen is correct in Tools/Options/Applications. It just doesn't show in the dialogue box, but works if I just click on OK.

Had to learn how to do that. Hope it works

No idea why it's like this. I could be wrong but I think one or two weeks back I had read in a mail list or RSS about a minor issue regarding the OO Firefox plugin. I searched, but couldn't find anything regarding this. Please also check in a new profile. You can also try to temporarily deactivate and re-enable the plugin via the OO options.

Thanks for all your help. At least it works, if not correctly.

No problem :)
