Bug 52454 replaced the helper app dialog and now makes it so you can choose not
to see the dialog before downloading/opening a file.  However, the only way to
do that is to first choose the "Set Default..." button and then uncheck the
"always ask" checkbox on the second dialog.

We need to put the same checkbox on the helper app dialog itself, as spec'd.

----------------------------------------
Implementation notes: The hurdle is actually in the helper app prefs dialogs. 
They currently do not support the useSystemDefault option defined under
nsIMIMEInfo.  As a result, it is not possible to store the "always ask me"
setting in cases where we do not have a helper app entry for the mime type.

Nominating.  This is a loose end from bug 52454.

This is up in the air pending resolution of other issues.

There's a relatively easy workaround and this one looks kind of hard.

Pushing out to mozilla1.0. mscott is doing the preliminary work on the new
helper app dialog, so he said that he would file corresponding bug for getting
"always ask me" checkbox not working

yep, this checkbox is present [and selected by default] in the helper app dialog
in both trunk and branch builds.

vrfy fixed (see my long comments in bug 88066 if you need details :).

Note that the "always ask me" in the new dialog seems to be on not only by
default, but *always*. I repoened bug 48948 that is tracking this issie, see
that bug for more information.
