93042 - use Helper applications for direct urls for all mime types

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 67549

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[mozilla]

When assigning a helper application to the mime type image/jpeg, along with the
extension .jpeg, mozilla continues to render images (with the proper image/jpeg
header) itself rather than calling the helper application.

Comment 1

[timeless]

um ... so what exactly do you want from mozilla?

Comment 2

[Keyser Sose]

Very unclear bug. Marking INValid.

Comment 3

[mozilla]

I apologize for being unclear.

On Linux, configure a helper application to handle Mime Types of image/jpeg.  In
my case, I am using gqview.

When clicking a link that is a jpeg image, or using the "View Image" context
menu, mozilla will render the image itself rather than using the helper
application that was assigned.

I hope this is more clear.  See also Jamie Wilmoth's comments on bug #67549 for
another description of this problem.

[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

The summary is a dupe of bug 90501.  But I don't think that's what this is
describing.  I think this is a dupe of bug 67549.  It looks the reporter is
trying to do the same thing as 67549 is trying to accomplish based upon his
original comments.

Christopher Aillon is correct; this is a duplicate of bug 67549.
