@jwatt What's this about a mass bug change? The link is to an
uninformative routine comment on an unrelated bug report, and googling
for similar comments only brings up this single bug report. Was this a
failed test for an upcoming actual mass bug change? Or can you explain
what it means with a correct link, or more information about what the
link means?

Title:
  Option to display file in browser, treat as text/plain

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  A suggestion:

  When you click certain files, like .py or .pl files, for example, Firefox 
brings
  up a dialog that offers you the ability to:
  1. Open with a certain application
  2. Save to disk
  What would be nice is a third option:
  3. Treat as text/plain

  The wording could be altered... "Display as text in browser" or
  something.

  Sometimes you just want to quickly visit a file on the web and look for
  something in it, and the fact that you *could* open it in a more customized
  application is true but not really easier for you at that moment. If you just
  want to look a Python script for a version number at the top it is not 
necessary
  to open it in your IDE or save it to disk; you just want to open it in the
  normal viewing window as plain text and quickly find what you need to look at.
