Comment 15 for bug 355005

Colin, how is this a gnome bug? All the app handling and mime code is kind of redone on mozilla side atm. At some point we might have the system application chooser for gnome integrated in firefox; at that point it would probably become a gnome bug, but not for now.

Technically, there shouldnt be much wizardry required here, except to hard code that .exe files are always unsafe - even on linux. See: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/309214/comments/11
