1690529 - List more valid file extensions in extraMimeEntries

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Tom S. (please needinfo tschuster)]

When I added some of the hard-coded MIME entries in bug 1619203 and its dependencies, I didn't expect that we would start changing the extension of files based on their MIME type.
We probably don't want to change extensions that are actually valid and used, but just aren't most "popular".

For example for text/calendar the only extension we define is .ics. Wikipedia lists .ical, .ics, .ifb, .icalendar.
We might also want to do something about OOXML mime types. Sadly for those it's a bit difficult to figure out which MIME type and extension combinations are actually correct. See bug 1686437.

Right.

Adding these seems uncontroversial. Do you have time to set up a patch for this bug?
