Title:
Option to display file in browser, treat as text/plain
Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
In Progress
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
A suggestion:
When you click certain files, like .py or .pl files, for example, Firefox
brings
up a dialog that offers you the ability to:
1. Open with a certain application
2. Save to disk
What would be nice is a third option:
3. Treat as text/plain
The wording could be altered... "Display as text in browser" or
something.
Sometimes you just want to quickly visit a file on the web and look for
something in it, and the fact that you *could* open it in a more customized
application is true but not really easier for you at that moment. If you just
want to look a Python script for a version number at the top it is not
necessary
to open it in your IDE or save it to disk; you just want to open it in the
normal viewing window as plain text and quickly find what you need to look at.
