Fixing a longstanding bug while passing by

While digging what was happening in bug #473557, I happened to get just in the right place of Iceweasel's code to fix the longstanding issue of it proposing "less" and other terminal-only applications as helpers for some MIME types.

The upstream bug is 6 years old.

The fix is 3 lines.

One of these lines is "}"

It will be in next xulrunner upload to unstable.

    Thank you :D

    It never annoyed me enough to even think of it as a bug, but now that you mention it – I will be really pleased to no longer have to change the handler to /usr/bin/gedit all the time.

    Thank you! That has annoyed me as well.
