Bug#698426: iceweasel: Please suggest applications handling mime type

[Andreas Tille]

Package: iceweasel
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

after reading this blog post

   http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_find_a_browser_plugin_supporting_a_given_MIME_type.html

I was wondering why not simply taking over the patch which the author
claimed to exist in Ubuntu and enable easy installation of packages
handling a requested mime type.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining iceweasel

      Andreas.
