Now that the patch is in ports, I've tried again. I can't get firefox to
load PDFs (etc.) with xdg, but it does work fine with a ~/.mailcap file.
That's certainly good enough for me -- thanks Landry!
Having carefully read the firefox README again, I did wonder if we can tweak
it a bit. For example, it seems to be a bit inconsistent in how it refers to
where the config files are, having both:
for each type of process are located in ${SYSCONFDIR}/firefox/
and:
/etc/${MOZILLA_PROJECT}/{unveil,pledge}.{main,content,gpu} to contain
At least for those of us reading the README in CVS, the latter was what
clicked best with me, and I wondered if language along those lines might be
best used in the "pledge(2) and unveil(2) Support" section, since it's at
the top of the README?
