Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Cannot add new handlers for mimetypes - the edit->preferenc
Clicking on a file that is unknown results in the dialog box:
-------
You have chosen to open
<filename>
which is a: <filetype>
from : <url>
[cancel] [save]
-------
There is no option in the dialog to add the application in.
Is there any circumstances at all that would require a dialog box that is slightly less helpful than a dead herring?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
