Title:
Multiple Executions of Programmes from /etc/mailcap fail
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
On my system Firefox reads mime type assocations from /etc/mailcap.
After having launched a programme once and opening a file of that
mime-type again, the programme doesn't appear in the dialogue again.
However, when inserting the programme into ~/.mailcap it always works.
$ cat /etc/mailcap
