Therefore Firefox choose bunzip2 as handler which is a problem because it's not GUI based. Firefox' behaviour is not really nice but in that case the webserver configuration is also a problem. The best content-type for that file would be application/x-bzip-compressed-tar (while I'm not sure if Firefox would work then correctly). There is some discussion upstream if Firefox should first ask gnome-vfs instead of mailcap, which would be the "best" solution if everyone would use Gnome since it would prefer graphical applications instead of commandline ones. The only workaround in your case for now is to remove bunzip2 from /etc/mailcap. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Now Gnome-VFS is asked before the system mailcap. The user's mailcap in $HOME/.mailcap is still the first checked one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
