354969 - Can't add a download action; can't see/edit actions that are already present

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 234245

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Robert Kennedy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

In the "Download Actions" pop-up, I can't see any action for, e.g., MP3 files, but Firefox knows what to do with MP3 files. I should be able to control the application or plug-in used for every type of file.

Every file type recognized by Firefox should be in the list, and there should be an "Add action" button I can use to add an action for a file type that Firefox doesn't already recognize.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open preferences (command-comma)
2. Click on the "Downloads" tab
3. Click on the "View & Edit Actions..." button
4. Observe that there are no actions listed for MP3, PDF, M4A, HTML, etc.
5. Observe that there is no way to change what the browser does for any of those file types even though it "knows" (or thinks it knows) how to handle them.
6. Observe that there is no way to tell the browser what application or plug-in to use for a file of type "foo".
