This is minor and shouln't delay the release...

I got a complaint from one tester today, that the new firefox defaults to 
offering to launch acroread for pdf files.  On checking it also offers ggv 
for postscript files, despite us having set xpdf and gv for these in the 
central mailcap files (though I'm now not sure that firefox looks at those 
anyway).

I'm not sure if this is just because of a change to the defaults in 
firefox or what.  I can't find anything obvious in the firefox tree which 
might be causing it to pick acroread (that string isn't in any of the 
files).  Maybe it is defined somewhere else for one of the libs that 
firefox uses -- (but then why is it different on 1.5.x versus 1.0.x??)

I can' even find where in the UI a user should change such things (I'm 
a dinosaur and don't like/use ffox).

I'm about to replace the defaults/profile/{*/,}mimeTypes.rdf files though 
I don't know if that will work except for 'new' profiles...
