The list under Tools -> Options -> Downloads -> File Types only lets you edit or
remove actions, not add new ones. Shouldn't the user be able to add new actions?

By default, clicking on a link to a Java file in Firefox opens it in Wordpad, my
default editor. (The Wordpad window also happens to appear behind some of my
other application windows (not just Firefox), instead of coming to the front,
but that's a separate issue.)

I want to be able to view the (remote) Java file directly in Firefox. How do I
do that? I do not want to change my application handler in Windows, since I want
to continue to view local Java files in Wordpad, not Firefox.

This is the issue that led me to file this bug. I did not find a resolution or
workaround for it.
