Just typos in the commit message.

  1. does not exist (without s)
  2. an indvidual
  3. an Xfce

The file /usr/share/applications/defaults.list enumerated the defaults
applications to open files of specific mime types. If this file does not
exist, the default is more or less randomly selected from the
applications available for a specific mime type (as defined by
/usr/share/applications/*.desktop).

The default settings can be overwritten by an individual user by the
"MIME Type Editor" xfce4-mime-settings).

This information is used by exo-open, which itself is called by xdg-open
if an Xfce desktop is detected.

Import existing file into repository.
Instead of opening a new browser window when a user with default
settings used `ipython notebook`, a Geany Window with a temporary .html
file was opened, because the setting for text/html was not defined.

Set text/html application to firefox.
