Details

I've seen this alot of places, it's getting real annoying. There should at the least be an option in the helper to view it directly in Mozilla, but text/anything-unknown should probably just default to being viewed the same as text/plain.
-> docshell (perhaps?)

Docshell doesn't care what the content type is, so long as a content viewer exists to view it. Assuming the text/foo type can be changed somewhere in necko it should display with no troubles. Presumably it would mean either changing the content type on the channel or feeding the data through a simple stream converter, plus some front end glue. CC'ing Doug for ideas.
Let's see if XP Apps is a better fit.
