908069 - SVG images are not shown when their file type is assigned to an external program

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 303581

(Core :: SVG, defect, P2)

Description

[Sebastian Zartner [:sebo]]

Attachment: mimeTypes.rdf with entry for SVG files

If there's an entry for SVG files inside the mimeTypes.rdf file, SVG images inside chrome content are not displayed correctly anymore.

Test case:
1. Install Firebug 1.12 from https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/firebug/versions/1.12.0 into a new Firefox profile
2. Close the browser and replace the mimeTypes.rdf file in your profile by the attached one
3. Start the browser again
   => The Firebug Start button icon in the toolbar isn't displayed (BUG)
4. Press F12 to open Firebug
   => Several button icons are missing (BUG)
5. Go to about:addons
6. Go to Extensions
7. Click the "Disable" button for Firebug
   => The Firebug icon is missing instead of grayed out (BUG)
