Bug Description
In <https:/
1. Run Mozilla Firefox 54.0 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS x86-64.
2. Visit https:/
3. Click on "tzdb-2017b.tar.lz" link for "Complete Distribution (Data, Code and Extras)"
A popup appears, saying "You have chosen to open tzdb-2017b.tar.lz which is: Lzip archive from: https:/
Apparently part of the problem is that /etc/mime.types contains entries for .gz but not for .lz. Could you please fix that? If I add the following line:
application/x-lzip lz
to ~/.mime-types, I do get a popup that suggests file-roller, which is an improvement (though still not as good as .gz). So I suggest adding such a line to /etc/mime.types.
