How to assign Specific Actions for Different Content Types in Mozilla

There are different media files associated with a webpage. Like a video file or flash (.swf) file or an image file, simply it can be any media associated with the webpage you are currently browsing. We need some files to be simply downloaded, some files to be opened in corresponding programs (a video player for a video file).
