This seems to happen with my existing FF profile and with an > entirely new profile. with my patch, xdg-* isnt used at all anymore, as it relies on glib2 being able to access /bin/sh. Here, when i try to access a pdf, firefox shows me the 'open with mupdf or save' dialog, as (from my understanding) it has access to all the .desktop files and the corresponding mime db, so knows what registered handlers exist for a given mimetype. The patch just short-circuits the internal glib2 handling/app startup via sh. Fwiw, other than yours i got zero feedback on this patch. Sad. Landry
