(In reply to Stewart Gordon from [comment #218](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57342#c218))
I think you completely misunderstood what I was getting at, because your final statement is what I was saying (well attempting to as it obviously wasn't as clear as I hoped). All I was saying is that if a file is identified with a mime type of `text/*` that it is text, and firefox displays text just fine as it currently does with `text/plain`. So firefox can handle any text file it doesn't explicitly have another process for as `text/plain` to display it **in Firefox**, and that should be an option in addition to _save_, and _specifying an external application_ for handling that file. I was not requesting that the user choose on an all-or-nothing basis at all, I wanted to add an option that doesn't exist at this time, but should for text/* types because the support is already baked in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25830 Title: Option to display file in browser, treat as text/plain To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/25830/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
