Clicking on .PLS playlist files in the web browser

Question

Can someone, please, confirm that this is how all N9 phones behave; I'm not sure whether I've messed something up by installing and uninstalling MeeRadio:
When you tap on a .PLS (playlist) file on a web page, the browser downloads the file and shows it in the Transfers window.  You can then tap on it there, and it will open the Music Player and start streaming.  (The .PLS file itself will be stored forever in the Downloads folder, until you manually delete it from there.)
If this is how it's supposed to work, a better way to handle it would've been to just launch the Music Player and start streaming as soon as you tapped on a .PLS link on the web page.  This is how the N900 works.
Thanks!

This is a problem related to having an outdated version of Firebug, most likely you've disabled automatic update of addons.
The easiest way to fix this is to go to Tools -> Addons, and then clicking the wheel button up near the search field. From there you choose "Check for Updates" and unless you need specific versions of an addon, choose the "Update addons automatically" while you are there.
You will most likely have to update Firebug twice, as it updates to an outdated version, and from there to the newest one.
This is the solution I stumbled upon as I had the same exact problem, where I tried creating a new profile and the likes.
