204422 - helper app not used when clicking on images that have internal plugins

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58554

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Frank Berndt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830

A helper app for mime types image/* is not being used when clicked on
an image. Rather, the internal image handler is being used. This is annopying as
netscape browsers launched the helper first. However, a download (CTRL-U) will
do the right thing and consult the mime mappings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.assign helper app for image/jpeg (like xv),
2.click on a link to an image (like .gif or .jpg),


Actual Results:  
The internal image viewer is always being lauched.

Expected Results:  
Open the image using the helper, not the internal plugin.

I have tried this with all plugins removed, no success.
I did not find any hints online. A few folks at work have
accepted this inconvenience without question.
