Hi Mike! Are you still reproducing this issue?

Yes. Please see added attachments.

Hi Matthias! Could you please take a look? Thanks!

You can not reassign internal supported content-types like text/html, image/gif or text/plain to other applications. The settings in tools/applications are stored in the mimetypes.rdf file and gecko looks at those settings only if they are not supported by Gecko itself.

Ok, then why does it appear to allow it to be set to an external program?

So the only choice is to save it, and open it manually outside firefox? That doesn't seem very friendly. Why shouldn't it be able to be overridden?

after digging around it seems that this report is a dupe of bug 58554. bug 58554 is about images and other content types that can be displayed internal. >So the only choice is to save it, and open it manually outside firefox?
