Miro install issues (multiple)

Bug Description

Binary package hint: miro

On first run Miro (attempts to) connect to a number of multimedia providers
without first asking the user or checking for an http_proxy. This is a
non-trivial privacy issue.

Depends on Firefox (v2) without checking whether a different browser or
version of Firefox is in use.

Install doesn't update mimeTypes.rdf or .mailcap so has no effect on
Firefox3 or other browsers.

Has no proxy setting, doesn't detect environment settings.

At least some of these problems aren't apparent in the Hardy package. Which version of Miro and Ubuntu are you using, and where are you getting Miro from?

Chris,

Miro (0.9.8.1-0ubuntu5) was installed using synaptic.

#grep -i code /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy

Thanks,
Roger

@msfree miro uses the proxy you choose on gnome.

Can you please add more details what exactly is your problem?
