.pls file opens multiple windows

more options

I use firefox and was trying to listen to a live audio feed from wpon.com and upon clicking the listen live button firefox asked me what to use to open it, i chose firefox and hit always use this to open these files, and now firefox just keeps opening multiple windows (dozens in seconds) all with the address of file:///C:/DOCUME~1/Bill/LOCALS~1/Temp/listen.pls in the address bar. I can still use firefox for other websites but if i click on anything that is a live audio feed .pls file results in firefox opening multiple windows fast and i can't even stop it without taskmanager exiting. I am using xp pro, and things in windows are still set to open .pls files with a vlc player I have but now since I set that setting for firefox to open pls files i cant open anything thru firefox that is a pls and I couldn't figure out how to change that association in firefox.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

i chose firefox as the extension for .pls (audio live streams) by accident and its now automatically opening multiple windows repeatedly.
