Do you have any situation to point of firefox using "gnome-default- handler"? That would be a firefox bug anyway
What is your point about the default handler? The default handler is for a mimetype, ie: x-directory/normal, consider x-directory/gnome-default- handler as a GNOME private namespace if you want, that's a trick they are using to assure directories have an handler when the mimebase has no x-directory handler listed -- Gnome's Places menu starts Konqueror instead of Nautilus https://launchpad.net/bugs/35997 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
