Comment 214 for bug 25830

I think that this is exactly contrary to the intent of the request - instead
of attempting to pre-define a set of extensions, simply give me an "open as
plain text" option in the right-click dropdown for a link. Basically, trust
the user to know what is text, and allow them to view it as text with as
little hassle as possible. If an unknown filetype is encountered, have "open
as text" as another option in addition to opening with a third-party program
or downloading the file.
