Why Did a Quicktime Video For VLC Download Instead of Play?
From Firefox, after attempting to stream a Quicktime Video without QuickTime media player installed on my PC, I was offered the option to watch the video with VLC open source Media Player, which I do have installed on my PC.
I selected that, but the video didn't stream. It started downloading, without further warning.
Why would that happen in Firefox?

Files opened in an external application are never streamed and are downloaded to the temp folder before they are passed to the player.
That only works if the stream is placed in a media file that has the link(s) to the stream. Then that file can be passed to the external player.
Only media files that play embedded in a browser tab can be streamed.
