Often I'll encounter a file type Seamonkey does not know about, and I'll get the dialog:

The file yyyyyy is of a type xxxxxx, and SeaMonkey does not know how to handle this file type.  What should SeaMonkey do with this file?  [Open default/Open with/Save it to disk [x] Always perform this action when handling files of this type.

But the option I often want is not there: show the file as plain text in the browser.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Various XML files, shown in the browser, with no need to save to a temp file.
