How can I unbind WebM video file from Mozilla Firefox?

I often download WebM files to my PC, and all what I do, doesn't help to unbind that file from Firefox. I can't change an icon of that file, and I can't setup my own icon for that file. please, help me. It drives me crazy already!

What file extension do those files have?

Did you check that in "Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types" ?

Did you check the file type via the Properties in the right-click context menu?

Windows may be hiding the real file extension and that may be an extension linked to Firefox.

Yes I did. I've already gave WebM to PotPlayer and gave my icon to the file. It's ok, until I don't have Firefox. As I install it, and still Webm to PotPlayer, the icon changes to icon of Firefox browser %)
