If you are referring to GNOME HIG, I personally do not agree that all of 
the HIG rules are beneficial (especially the proxy rule), but I also am 
not interested in debating the HIG.

If you are referring to MIME integration, MIME is a mess across the 
entirety of GNOME itself (don't know about 2.8 work) and not limited to 
just the browser.

firefox packaging has been solved:

fedora.us used an ugly debian packaging hack temporarily, and will soon 
move to this upstream fix.
