Encountered this bug today trying to get a plaintext format (with the mime type `application/<something>`) to display as plaintext in the browser rather than Open With > Firefox (and opening a new window.)
Is there still no workaround for enabling this type of functionality, even by modifying config files in the profile? I tried messing around with `handlers.json` (the file that holds the mime type preferences set in `about:preferences` under the "Files and Applications" header) but had no luck. Some content types in `about:preferences` permit users to select "Open in Firefox" while others don't. Where is the safelist of permitted content types for this behavior? Could a simple solution to this bug be to add an `about:config` flag that would allow power users to select "Open in Firefox" for any content type? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25830 Title: Option to display file in browser, treat as text/plain To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/25830/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
