The bug was reported at http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=4845 The downloading file's mime-type is application/x-bz2. GNOME doesn't have a default app for it. Then we check the extension .bz2. We get a default app (file-roller) and mime-type application/x-bzip, description is Bzip file. We show it to user, user click ok. When the file is downloaded, we tried to launch it by default app of application/x-bz2. The default app doesn't exist.
We should use the mime-type from extension match, that is x-bzip in this case. It is the same logic of win/nsOSHelperAppService.cpp

Biesinger, Sorry I missed your comment for a while. (In reply to comment #2) > Why don't we launch it with the app we got earlier, i.e. file-roller? That's exactly I'm trying to fix. We got file-roller earlier by extension .bz2. If the user agrees to launch the file with system default helper application, the action is useSystemDefault. When we try to launch it, we query the default app with mime-type again. (see http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/uriloader/exthandler/unix/nsMIMEInfoUnix.cpp#101) The mime-type is set to application/x-bz2 by the code I'm trying to remove. So it fails to find default app.
Yes, I think so. But I don't quite understand the patch in bug 455626. I think it doesn't make sense to look up again. And why would we need to do GetHasDefaultHandler(), hasDefault is no longer used before "return". I think the patch here is simpler.
