User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0
Steps to reproduce:
Open a valid JSON file from the local filesystem with a .geojson extension
Actual results:
File opens as a text file; JSON Viewer does not kick in.
Expected results:
JSON Viewer should kick in. GeoJSON is a standardised extension of the JSON format and when correctly formatted can be expected to parse as valid JSON.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'WebExtensions::Untriaged' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Works for me. Does your system properly associate .geojson with application/geo+json?
If you open the browser console and enter getMIMEService().getTypeFromExtension("geojson"), do you get "application/geo+json"?

It's MacOS Big Sur. The browser mime service throws for geojson ... so guessing not. Similarly the file type isn't available under Firefox preferences > general > applications .. not sure if that is useful / user configurable outside of download preferences.
On the system side, geojson is reported as "Geographical JSON" in the GUI (json shows "JSON"). The system mime type file $file --mime-type for each returns as text/plain.
This appears to be working on macOS Ventura and Firefox 117. Ventura reports "application/json" for geojson, the browser console correctly returns "application/geo+json" and the JSON viewer kicks in as expected.
Resolving as "works for me" ... thanks for the heads space.
