Our defaults.list has: text/html=redhat-web.desktop But htmlview (which provides redhat-web.desktop) is no longer part of the default install set for Fedora 9. I'd suggest: text/html=mozilla-firefox.desktop The consequence of this bug is that for any app still using gnome-vfs, they get a random application (maybe abiword) for html files, which probably won't work.
