Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Marking wishlist now, will evaluate later.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

firefox-3.0 3.6.17+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 is available in the hardy repositories and supports *.html, *.png, *.txt, *.ogg, *.ogv and probably *.flac as well

*.ps support should probably be handled in evince.
