Package: firefox Version: 1.5.dfsg+1 (note: not a dupe bug beyond the 1st two paragraphs)
Web servers often do not supply the correct MIME type. When I try to view such a file, firefox gives me the choice of saving it or viewing it with something lame like gedit. I most recently saw the problem with a patch or config file in a bugzilla. It happens elsewhere too, commonly. When there is no viewer for the given MIME type, firefox should use file extensions and file magic to determine the MIME type. There is a good chance that the new MIME type will have a viewer. Note that IE will _always_ prefer the file extension over the web server's MIME type, even if the web server provided a useful type. I don't expect this to go over all that well with the W3 cultists, but it sure would make more web sites work as intended. So I only ask that firefox attempt do do something useful when the server's MIME type isn't any good. BTW, the version is as displayed by aptitude. It seems to be truncated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
