On an unrelated note, does anyone else have problems with the MIME

The MIME type for gzipped tarballs on my system is
application/x-compressed-tar. It's kinda annoying because Firefox
gets confused and decides it can't open the tarball. I might try to
fix it myself at some later stage, but I'm really snowed under at
the moment.
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

It is set in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml (belonging to
shared-mime-info), but maybe other places too. I would imagine
freedesktop.org would be the best candidate for an auxiliary standard.
But maybe I should just report this as a Firefox bug, since it prompts
me to open it with the right program, and only after it has finished
downloading does an error occur.
