(Whiteboard: [fidefe-mr11-downloads])

When the improvements_to_download_panel preference is turned on there is some strange platform specific behavior on Windows for the application/unknownmime time. When the nsIHandlerService setting for application/unknown has the preferred action set to Ci.nsIHandlerInfo.handleInternally, files with the mime-type application/unknown are renamed on download with a .pdf extension. This behavior does not occur on Mac or Linux.

This ticket needs to find root cause of this behavior and determine if that behavior is correct.

This behavior was discovered by the work on Bug 1733621
