Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. goto http://www.stahlrohr.com/wap.wml 2. choose mozilla as application to display the information Actual Results: the downloaded file is being opened in a new window, saved again, the newly saved file is being opened in a new window and so on Expected Results: nothing? ...the ability to choose mozilla itself to display something should be disabled (in this case?).
Mozilla can't display this type of file : [text/vnd.wap.wml] The file open loop should not happen but this is a dupe (AFAIK) THe issue that Mozilla can't open text/* is bug 57342 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 57342 ***

matti: > The file open loop should not happen I disagree... it's exactly what the user asked for. that said, we have a bug to disallow setting mozilla itself as a helper application. reading comment 0, the request here seems to just be to not allow setting mozilla as helper app, so duping to the other bug...
