Downloads with Firefox

[eamonn29]

When I try to download from the download station Firefox states that it can't open the address since the protocol Trainz is not associated with any application. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks. Ed

Hi Ed and welcome to the forum.
Ok, in Firefox go to tools, options, and then applications.
If you hi-lite the application you are having trouble with there will be a drop-down arrow to select the action you want. Hope this makes sense.

Hi Ed.

Firefox does not know what to do with the protocol trainz:\\.
Firefox can only interpret http and ftp.

Try this:

Open this folder: C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xx00yyyy.default (Win Vista or Win 7) or C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xx00yyyy.default (Win XP)

Search for the file named user.js and open it.
If you can not find it, just create it: New - Text Document. Replace the extension TXT with JS.

Add this to the file:

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.trainz", "X:\\Program Files\\TS2009\\bin\\ContentManager.exe");

Save the file and close it.

Open Firefox and click on a download link.

Firefox should open the Content Manager and put the content into the download list.
