This frustrated the shit out of me. My setup: Vista Business SP1, Firefox 3.0.1, Quicktime 7.5 (861).
No matter how hard I tried, besides disabling the Quicktime plugin in Vista, moving/deleting npqtplugin4.dll in the Firefox plugins folder or hex editing it, Firefox 3.0.1 would always play any mp3s I clicked in a full screen Quicktime plugin.
The about:plugins shows the following:
| MIME Type | Description | Suffixes | Enabled |
|---|---|---|---|
| video/mpeg | MPEG media | mpeg,mpg,m1s,m1v,m1a,m75, m15,mp2,mpm,mpv,mpa | Yes |
| audio/mpeg | MPEG audio | mpeg,mpg,m1s,m1a,mp2,mpm, mpa,m2a | Yes |
| audio/x-mpeg | MPEG audio | mpeg,mpg,m1s,m1a,mp2,mpm, mpa,m2a | Yes |
| video/3gpp | 3GPP media | 3gp,3gpp | Yes |
How the hell do you change one of those values to say “enabled: no”?
Changing Mime Type associations in Firefox via Options -> Applications does nothing - Quicktime always gets there first
Changing Mime Settings in Quicktime Preferences launches Vista’s Set Program Associations which is also fruitless
After much digging around, I have worked out that the following will let you handle audio/mpeg (mp3) the way you want:
Just a quick note:
Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.2.6-2 on Debian fails to shutdown properly on one of my servers
apache2ctl stop or /etc/init.d/apache2 stop or equivalents would result in “waiting…………….” until a timeout and then the new process is launched anyway which fails because the port is already in use, apache2 never finished shutting down properly
Not sure exactly what the problem is, but downgrading to PHP 5.2.6-0.dotdeb.1 via DotDeb mirrors solved the issue
Hopefully it will be fixed in the next version/patch
It’s day 1 of the transition out of the Velocity Diet - the 28 day diet has been completed!
Final Measurements (cold, not flexed):
Bicep: 14.5″ (-0.5″)
Calf: 16.25″ (-0.75″)
Thigh: 22.25″ (-1.75″)
Neck: 14.75″ (-0.75″)
Forearm: 12.5″ (-0.25″)
Waist: 32″ (-4.5″)
Lower Abs: 36″ (-4″)
Chest: 39″ (-2″)
Total inches lost: 14.5″
Weight: 206lbs (14st 10lbs) / 93.4Kg
Total weight lost: 16lbs / 7.2Kg
I am now within 10lbs of my original goal for summer, I’m predicting around 6 weeks to get there. I will transition from the Velocity Diet onto T-Dawg Diet 2.0
Overall I’m very pleased with the 16lbs loss and it’s very noticable
The last day before the transition!
Measurements haven’t changed since last time:
Today’s Measurements (cold, not flexed):
Bicep: 14.25″ (-0.75″)
Calf: 16.25″ (-0.75″)
Thigh: 22.25″ (-1.75″)
Neck: 14.75″ (-0.75″)
Forearm: 12.5″ (-0.25″)
Waist: 32″ (-4.5″)
Lower Abs: 36″ (-4″)
Chest: 39″ (-2″)
Weight: 207lbs (14st 11lbs) / 93.8Kg (-15lbs / 6.8Kg)
I will post my immediate post Velocity Diet figures tomorrow and then some post transition figures a further 2 weeks later
I am happy with the results thus far, I hoped to lose 14lbs and have exceeded that
My ultimate target has been 196lbs @ 8% body fat (assuming I’ve calculated everything properly!).. hopefully I’ll be there within 6 weeks
Here’s my original fat loss estimate chart for 2008 just for fun

Nearly there - 3 full days to go
Today’s Measurements (cold, not flexed):
Bicep: 14.25″ (-0.75″)
Calf: 16.25″ (-0.75″)
Thigh: 22.25″ (-1.75″)
Neck: 14.75″ (-0.75″)
Forearm: 12.5″ (-0.25″)
Waist: 32″ (-4.5″)
Lower Abs: 36″ (-4″)
Chest: 39″ (-2″)
Weight: 208lbs (14st 12lbs) / 94.3Kg (-14lbs / 6.3Kg)
I think that my weight is due for a couple of pounds drop over the next couple of days. 14 pounds was my target so I’ve reached that already!
End of week 3
Weight: 209lbs (14st 13lbs) / 94.8Kg (-13lbs / 5.9Kg)
Almost the end of week 3

Weight: 212lbs (15st 2lbs) / 96.1Kg (-10lbs / 4.5Kg)
10lbs gone and 8 whole days left.
When I started I was hoping for 1st / 14lbs loss and it looks like I should come very close to that
Today’s Measurements (cold, not flexed):
Bicep: 14.5″ (-0.5″)
Calf: 16.5″ (-0.5″)
Thigh: 22.5″ (-1.5″)
Neck: 14.75″ (-0.75″)
Forearm: 12.75″ (no change)
Waist: 33″ (-3.5″)
Lower Abs: 37″ (-3″)
Chest: 39.5″ (-1.5″)
Weight: 214lbs (15st 4lbs) / 97Kg (-8lbs / 3.6Kg)
Weight has remained the same for a few days but some measurements are down so I’m not too bothered
