Finding a mime type in the Helper App listing with NS 4.x is a major pain.
There are a lot of them, and there seems to be no particular sort order.

Currently, Mozilla has the same problem once enough mime types are defined. The
mime types seem to be sorted by order in which they were added.  This is not
conducive to quickly finding a mime type.

Since mime types are inherently hierarchical and since the list of mime types is
already a tree, I propose making that tree hierarchical.

For example, there would be an audio branch that would contain all the
audio/whatever types.  Having the types sorted alphabetically within each branch
and having the branches also sorted alphabetically would immensely improve the
usability of the dialog.

I just landed this on the trunk.

If this bug was left open for implementing hierarchical display after the first
checkin, isn't it now the same as bug 46793?

It's been the same as that bug all along; I just never found it.  ;)
