That actually IS the nice solution. I am running milestone 18 on
unstable and the only other way I could do it is to have Mozilla
in the path (which it happens to be anyway) and to set the handler
for text/html to 'mozilla -chrome 'file:%f''.
If I try to give the full path to Mozilla (or any app I use as a
handler), I get the same error that you experienced.
Besides that, if I call Mozilla with the 'chrome' option, it comes
up without toolbars and the popup menus are disabled. Somewhat like
a kiosk setting.
