Search in your Home folder this hiden folder:
.mozilla/Firefox (linux, for Windows: use the search function)
search for your xxxx.default folder and than the mimeTypes.rdf file.
Open this File and search for:
Code:
<RDF:Seq RDF:about="urn:mimetypes:root">
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/zip"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-executable"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-tar"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-gzip"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-cd-image"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-rpm"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/vnd.ms-excel"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:text/x-delimtext"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-bzip2"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:text/csv"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/pdf"/>
</RDF:Seq>
|
Change it to:
Code:
<RDF:Seq RDF:about="urn:mimetypes:root">
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/zip"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-executable"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-tar"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-gzip"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-7zip"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-cd-image"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-rpm"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/vnd.ms-excel"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:text/x-delimtext"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/x-bzip2"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:text/csv"/>
<RDF:li RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:application/pdf"/>
</RDF:Seq>
|
Search for:
Code:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:application/x-gzip"
NC:alwaysAsk="true"
NC:saveToDisk="true">
<NC:externalApplication RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/x-gzip"/>
</RDF:Description>
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/x-gzip"
NC:prettyName=""
NC:path="" />
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:application/x-gzip"
NC:value="application/x-gzip"
NC:editable="true"
NC:fileExtensions="gz"
NC:description="gzip-Archiv">
<NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:application/x-gzip"/>
</RDF:Description>
|
Add after it:
Code:
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:application/x-7zip"
NC:alwaysAsk="true"
NC:saveToDisk="true">
<NC:externalApplication RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/x-7zip"/>
</RDF:Description>
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/x-7zip"
NC:prettyName=""
NC:path="" />
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:application/x-7zip"
NC:value="application/x-7zip"
NC:editable="true"
NC:fileExtensions="7z"
NC:description="7zip-Archiv">
<NC:handlerProp RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:handler:application/x-7zip"/>
</RDF:Description>

Now save the file and restart Firefox. Now FF knows 7zip files.

I have turn on my Brain:
If the file in "c:\Documents and Settings" or c:\Users they should dont overwrite.
After a Firefox Update you dont lose Your Bookmarks so you dont lose the mineTypes settings, too.

I think so, every Linux Distribution is different. On openSuSE Firefox don't know 7zip.
Firefox on Windows dont know 7zip ?!?.
