Mime-type question Gnome

In Gnome I noticed something very strange. If I take an HTML file and name it helloworld.htm or helloworld.html then it shows up as a Mozilla bookmark with a mozilla bookmark icon. If I change the name to just "helloworld" then it lists as an html page.

This isn't a huge problem, mostly aesthetic because the html icon is nicer, but does anyone have any idea of how to get the files with html extensions to show up as html pages and not bookmarks?

I have the following mime related files installed:

current/mime-types 1.0-1
    Provides /etc/mime.types
extra/gmime 2.2.10-1
    Core mime parsing library
extra/gnome-mime-data 2.18.0-3 (gnome)
    The base MIME and Application database for GNOME
extra/nail 11.25-2
    A mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1 and contains builtin
    support for MIME messages and IPv6
extra/perl-file-mimeinfo 0.14-1
    Determine file type
extra/perl-mime-lite 3.01-1
    Perl module that provides lightweight MIME generator
extra/shared-mime-info 0.22-1
    Freedesktop.org Shared MIME Info
community/mime-editor 0.5-1 (rox-desktop)
    Shared-mime info database editor, useful for changing MIME-type info in rox
    applications
community/pantomime 1.2.0pre2-1
    A set of Objective-C classes that model a mail system
community/perl-mime-parser 5.420-2
    Perl/CPAN Module MIME::Parser : Parses streams to create MIME entities
community/perl-mime-types 1.19-2
    Perl/CPAN Module MIME::Types : Information and processing MIME types
community/synce-libmimedir 0.4-1
