...under applications on the preferences menu when built with -gnome. When new actions are registered as the user encounters new content types, they are not available for editing in the preferences menu. Did firefox 2.0 worked fine? Firefox 2 provided this functionality under the content tab, in a section labeled File Types, the button Manage... pulls up a table of Extension/File Type/Action. This seems to work fine in www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14 with -gnome. However, this doesn't handle mailto: links and such, I am not sure how these are handled in Firefox 2. I am seeing the same thing here with mozilla-firefox-3.0-r1. The applications tab displays an empty table. I have also set -gnome. Normally, you see at least the filetypes there that are handled by installed plugins (like Acrobat Reader). This works OK with Firefox 3.0 under Windows and also with Firefox 2.0 under Gentoo, just not with 3.0 under Gentoo. However, installed plugins show in "about:plugins" and seem to work OK (tested Acrobat Reader). I also suffer from this bug.
