Stuff for M7 [edit]

This is a list of content/protocol-handling changes in M7 listed in order of criticality, a bunch of which we'll want fixes for before we ship. Listed in order of criticality:

  • apparent gnome sec hole (regression)

  • picking a non-default protocol handler launches OK, but all subsequent attempts to use that handler fail and can't be reverted

  • dialog does not actually set nsIHandlerInfo::useHelperApp when using an already entered preferred application.

  • non-default local protocol handling apps can be chosen but don't work

  • protocol-handling dialog doesn't show up for types the OS doesn't know about

  • linux: firefox doesn't see system webcal: handler that it used to (regression)
    • bug 389766
    • not a blocker for M7 since it can be worked around, and the handler in question is broken anyway (doesn't work with firefox 2 either)
  • linux: network.protocol-handler.app.* prefs no longer work
    • NOT A BUG; the new UI is replacing that functionality cross-platform
