Details

Firefox Nightly installs a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications that looks like this: $ cat /home/thomas/.local/share/applications/userapp-Nightly-XDX6IX.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application NoDisplay=true Exec=/home/thomas/firefox/firefox %u Name=Nightly Comment=Custom definition for Nightly It then registers it as a http handler in gvfs. However, for this to work correctly, the .desktop file needs this line added: MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;text/mml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; This caused a crash in gnome-system-settings. The crash is fixed, but the .desktop file still needs to be fixed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193680 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744695
Mistakenly filed against Firefox 38 and should be instead 38 Branch. Sorry for the spam. dkl
