Firefox is crashing on me whenever I click on a link for a file whose
extension is not in the system mime.types file. (It was crashing on
every non-html link before I installed the mime-support port.)
I am almost positive this is happening because the default plugin is not
enabled -- this is what about:plugins says:
Default Plugin
File name: libnullplugin.so
The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions
that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins.
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
* All types .* No
How can I enable libnullplugin.so or else prevent this behavior?
Stats:
FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p7
firefox-1.0.2
thanks,
Thomas
