Hi, all!
I'm troubled with a problem, that's when I try to open a file in firefox(not save, just open). Firefox can get the associated application but just can't work. It says:"XXXX can't be open, because the associated helper applicaion doesn't not exists." What does this mean??
Thanks a lot!:)

Search the forums because there have been quite a few threads posted lately about broken mime-types. I'm sure one of them will help you get this solved.

actualy the broken mimetype in firefox isn't related with shared-mime-info. i didn't upgrade it and firefox doens't want to open rar archive even is associated. is says in the open box File-arhive and then when i want to open It says:"XXXX can't be open, because the associated helper applicaion doesn't not exists." but with other types of arhive is working. i tested with pdf file type and was workig too.
if ff2 was working flawless

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Check the firefox bug tracker. Maybe someone has posted a patch or a workaround.

Thank you very much! But I failed again after following the instructions in that thread.
This time, it's even worse: firefox can't get the associated application:(
