This may now exaggetate a little but "malicious" web-sites should not be
able to freeze my Mozilla and Desktop!
And I am sure that this will cause a problems for a number of others users
than me.
Easiest I have seen sofar is to add new mime-type definiton for RPM via
menu \edit\preferences\navigator\helper-applications,
but at least that should be there by default because many users may not
realize that.
In addition I just noticed that also a command
\edit\preferences\navigator\helper-applications\new type
crashed my Mozilla. This was with Mandrake 9.0 with fixes and security
updates installed by using norman non-root user.

It's not a bug with Real Player.
Real Player uses a file that ends with the extension .rpm as a plugin
module. This is what mime types are for. The problem is that many
servers are set to identify the mime type of *.rpm as Real Player and
not Red Hat Package (I forget what the specific types are...) It's not
really a bug in mozilla. It's a bug with the servers on the other end.
