(In reply to 石庭豐 (Seak, Teng-Fong) from comment #102) Teng-Fong, I believe you're mistaken. The core issue with MIME support is that it's based on code which is essentially a custom object system implemented in C, with polymorphic construction by class name, and other strangeness. It is very tricky to work with, and what's _really_ necessary is getting rid of it in favor of a proper C++'ish MIME library. Problem is, it's like a house of cards which collapses on top of you when you do that. Last decade I had tried to initiate this kind of a rewrite, but it didn't work out. See also Arho's comment #95.
Anyway, something like UnMHT are not really a solution, it's a workaround; and it would not be reasonable to integrate it. It would be yet another layer over the problematic core. -- 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/240133 Title: MHTML Format - Web Archive Files - Standard not supported in Firefox Status in Mozilla Firefox: Won't Fix Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 this location http://www.militarybadges.org.uk/badget11.mht displays This document is a Web archive file.
