On a Mac one can set up what a browser should use for opening
files. For example, in Firefox, under the Content preferences,
there is a field where you can manage how the browser handles
certain file types. You can open with a plugin (these can be
inspected in their folder), open with some application, save them
to your computer and not open them. You can set these things up
easily. Perhaps it is more complex on Windows machines? It seems
very drastic to remove QT completely. Perhaps someone could go
through the procedure of how to set options for this on a Windows
machine... on a Windows forum if not here?
