[Bug 55428] Re: Helper applications cannot be changed, even when asked to do so by Firefox.

[quequotion]

YES! This bug, or something very similar is still a problem.

I'm using Swiftweasel 3.5 now, but I had the same problem with a
previous version of firefox several months ago.

Inexplicably, all mime handlers are broken as of three minutes ago. This
started mid-browsing and persists after restart.

NOTE: The applications exist, but firefox disagrees.

I resolved this last time by absolutely purging firefox from the system
("apt-get remove --purge firefox" plus a lengthy search for any and all
related files). I wouldn't call that a fix.
