[ale] Mozilla MI18 questions

Anyone using Mozilla MI18?  I like it -- it feels "snappy", for lack of a
better word.  3 issues:

1) I can't seem to get my "Helper Applications" working.

By default, none are specified, so it will prompt me for an application. If
it do the ole "Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Applications" and fill out the
usual stuff (example: PS file; application/postscript; .ps;
/usr/X11R6/bin/gv %s) I no longer get the "please select an app" box, but
the helper app never loads.  I'm unfamiliar enough with Mozilla that I 
really don't know where to look next to debug.

I'm sure there are no typos, and I've tried it with other apps.

2) It doesn't seem to use my .mailcap/.mime.types file -- is this because of
the "registry" that Mozilla uses?

3) Execution of mozilla seems to _require_ that you run it with the
installed directory as your current directory.  It only runs correctly
as a user if I write as script that says 
"cd /opt/mozilla/whatever; run-mozilla".  



I'm sure I'm overlooking something stupid about the help apps. Pointers?
