In December 2000, just shy of 21 years ago, comment number 6: "Marking as NEW so someone will either mark it as WONTFIX or INVALID."
Status today, 25 Aug 2021 (30th birthday of Linus announcing his OS in Usenet): "Status: NEW" And I see multiple patches attached to this ticket from various points over the years. This is so disheartening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25830 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.
