Interesting. Where is that set on your system? This whole mime type thing is a bit of a mess eh? I guess it's kind of hard to rely on non-standard mime types. Is there some kind of auxiliary non IETF standard? You can find the mime types that Firefox uses in: /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/<profileid>/mimeTypes.rdf Cheers.
