Thanks to all who replied, this did the trick.
I'm still confused about something though...what the heck is the good of
having the "helper applications" in mozilla if I can't assign an
application to a MIME type? Do all helper applications also require a
plugin too? Or do they specifically operate only on specific filename
extensions? I'm happy to have the application/x-java-vm working, but I'm
really curious now just what the helper applications were intended for.
