235869 - "Open File"-Dialog should allow to choose .xul and .xpi files

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 139214

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

As .xul and .xpi are file types which can be stored locally in an ordinary way,
it should be possible to open them from the "Open File"-Dialog without having to
choose "All Files".

I propose to 
- put .xul together with .html etc. in "HTML files", as firefox renders .xul
pages like usual .html pages. Maybe rename "HTML files".
- give .xpi an own menu point as installing something is kind of a special operation

same goes for seamonkey.

opening most XUL file without a chrome:// URL doesn't do much, if anything

as for XPIs, that has potential uses

Comment 2

found both wishes in other bugs:

adding .xpi files in bug #139214
adding .xul files in bug #81789

-> marked as duplicate of #139214
