At some point recently our mozilla-firefox port stopped automatically opening
downloaded files for me. pkg/README says:

  Due to unveil(2) limiting filesystem access, only the default MIME
  handler registered for a given type can be chosen when opening a
  downloaded file.  For example, to use the mupdf package to read
  PDFs, it must be registered as the default with XDG:

        $ xdg-mime default mupdf.desktop application/pdf

And, indeed, I have had that set for some while and it used to work fine.
However, when I click on a PDF link in Firefox, it now brings up the
(not-very-useful because of unveil!) "launch application" window.

I'm sure I'm missing out on something obvious, but I'm not sure what it might
be (and I know someone else who's equally baffled). In case it's relevant,
I'm using XFCE (so DBUS is running) on -current as of a couple of days ago,
with the firefox-76.0p0 package on amd64. If anyone has any pointers, I know
at least two of us who will welcome them!
