107679 - Cannot disable Downloading dialog for new mime-type

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78943

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[bobj]

Running:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011019 Netscape6/6.2 

I created a new mime-type with a default extension.
When I open a local file with this extension, I get the download dialog.
The dialog has a checkbox
   [X] Always ask before opening this type of file.

I unchecked this, and opened the same file again.  The dialog
appeared again and the checkbox was still checked.

I also went into the Edit|Preferences|Navigator|Helper Applications
and tried to edit the the mime-type, but the checkbox
  [X] Ask me before opening downloaded files of this type

was checked and grayed out, so it could not be changed.
