Hi peeps.

A little help needed if no one minds?

I am having trouble download .nzb files.

When i try i get an error via firefox saying: ...nzb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist.

I used to used Unison to open this file be have now deleted this and started using i grab and nzb drop.

I don't know if the problem is with my firefox settings or what? Ive had a look but cant seem to sort it out...

Thanks in advance for your help as i know how helpful you peeps can be on here!
 
Control-Click on the file and choose "Get Info" -> "Open With".
Select the Application and then click "Change All"

That will let you set it to whatever you want.

Ok, done that has changed the icon to the prog i want to use but now when i still try and download via firefox i get the same error?

any ideas?

little update, have tried this in Safari and downloads fine. So its a prob with firefox!
 
problem sorted.

I went into firefox's preferences
clicked content tab
at the bottom clicked manages files types, then selected the type of file and changed it there.
 
Glad to see that everything has been sorted out for you.

Sorry that I could not get back to you a little faster... been a busy day.
