373568 - RFE In correct setting of firefox config value

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 370386

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Aaron Konstam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060418 Fedora/1.0.8-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.8
Build Identifier: Mozill Firefox/1.5.0.10 and Firefox/1.5.0.9 and maybe firefox/2.0.0.2-1

Description of problem:The config option in firefox as supplied in the Fedora
installation is configured with the config option:
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions is set to true. This means that
when you go to Preferences->Downloads->View & Edit Actions noone of the
associaton informaation between file types and application or plugin that
handles the file type can be seen. This makes the installation of appropriate
plugins much harder to do, especially since most peopple do not know about this
configurationn option. My suggestioonn is that firefox would be distributed in
Fedora with this config uration optiion set to false.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run firefox
2.Look at the display in Dowvnload-> View&Edit
3.
Actual Results:  
can't see  application and plugin assignments

Expected Results:  
Most people wold want to see them.
