Details

On Mozilla, unlike in Netscape 4.x, helper applications have to be specified
using the full path.  This encodes an unwanted system dependency in the Mozilla
profile.  Mozilla should not care if my "acroread" is installed in
/usr/local/bin or /opt/bin (for example) unless I tell it so; if a full path is
not specified it should use a standard PATH search.
