63154 - downloading zip gives old 'unknown file type' dialog

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Vincent Schut]

Build 2000121720, win98
(also on build of 20001215..)

If I click on a zip file (for example to download moz's latest build) I do not
get the normal file download dialog (radio buttons, run winzip or save to disk),
but the (old I thought?) more rectangular dialog that tells me I am to download
a file of type application/ZIP, that Moz doesn't know what to do with it and
that I can choose to save it or to run it with another application. However,
this choice does not really exist, only three buttons appear under this message:
more info, save file, cancel. Saving works fine, by the way. So it is not the
same bug as bug 61316.
Actually I really thought we got rid of this old download dialog...? Am I wrong?
Oh, and adding winzip as a helper app in my prefs doesn't help. In fact, I am
not able to add winzip to the helper apps...

Marking WORKSFORME as per comments. (I have also had no problem with this
recently on my Winblows machines.)

Additional comments of reporter:
Since some days this bug seems to have been partly fixed: now the right dialog
box pops up, only the open with application text field is empty, while imho
there should already be suggested 'winzip'.
Last tested on build 2001012420, win32.
