Fix Firefox to launch MIME filetype handler applications
Authored by: briank on Jun 09, '04 10:05:32PM
This hint doesn't appear to work with all apps. A quick read of this bug report led me to modify the mimeTypes.rdf file (the Firefox folks can't seem to make up their mind whether they want to be Phoenix or Firefox, so the location of this file will depend on the version you're using...on my system, it's ~/Library/Firefox/Profiles/default.ys9; your default dir will probably be different). Just type in /Applications/NeoOfficeJ or whatever for the NC:Path tag, and an appropriate value for NC:prettyName.

This bug report says there's been a patch, but it doesn't appear to have been applied to the latest nightly build.
