what the fuck

Somehow, Firefox has decided to handle Flash files with the QuickTime plugin.  If there's one thing about Firefox that really ticks me off, it's that there's no obvious way to tell it to handle a particular file type with the plug-in (or, if it normally does, to not do so).  It also seems to mishandle file extensions and file types, but i can't tell if that's its fault or Windows's fault (if a Web server sends a .mp4 file as "text/plain", should the browser figure out it's a binary file and send it to the right place, or accept the file type as authoritative?  is the solution to have the browser run "file" on the download to determine its type?  what if the magic number file is poor?).  I hate computers.  I hate the Web.
