421816 - web-based feed handlers cannot be removed

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Elmar Ludwig]

If I try to remove one of the three standard web-based feed handlers (Bloglines, Yahoo, Google), it will reappear after restarting the browser. The same happens when I add one manually as described here:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Adding_feed_readers_to_Firefox

Removing the new handler seems to work (it disappears from the list), but the handler reappears after the next browser start.

Is this a regression with the new protocol handling stuff?
Does it only affect the web feed handlers?

It's a bug in the new "Application details" dialog introduced by bug 402252, but it's not a regression, as the old Feeds prefpane in Firefox 2 didn't provide any way to remove feed handlers.
