Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Hi,

this used to work, but it does not anymore. Text files that have been compressed with gzip don't display inline anymore but launch an external application.

Examples:
file:///usr/share/doc/TODO.gz
http://rfc.net/rfc70.txt.gz

I also think that normal text files aren't opened in firefox anymore under a lot of circumstances when they previously were displayed fine.

Maybe I just misconfigured something, but I tried a second user on this system with a clean ~/.mozilla folder and experienced the same problems.

Regards

Rolf
