4180	mc 4.8.26: cannot view content of .xpi archives (firefox extensions, aka zip files with .xpi extension)	gv	andrew_b	"Up to mc 4.8.25 you can view the content of firefox extensions (.xpi files). This is not possible anymore.

The error message is:
{{{
Cannot open ""/path/to/ff_ext.xpi"" in parse mode
No such file or directory (2)
}}}

If I renaming {{{ .xpi }}} archive to {{{ .zip }}}, mc display the content just fine:

{{{
$ file ff_ext.xpi 
ff_ext.xpi: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract
$ cp ff_ext.xpi ff_ext.zip
$ file ff_ext.zip
ff_ext.zip: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract
}}}


F3 on {{{ ff_ext.zip }}} display list of files in the archive.

However:

{{{
$ zip archive some-dummy-file.txt 
  adding: some-dummy-file.txt (deflated 66%)
$ file archive.zip 
archive.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
}}}


F3 on {{{ archive.zip }}} display list of files in the archive.


{{{
$ cp archive.zip archive.xpi
}}}


F3 on {{{ archive.xpi }}} and mc display the content of {{{ some-dummy-file.txt }}} instead of archive filename list.


{{{
$ zip archive1 some-dummy-file.txt another-dummy-file.txt
  adding: some-dummy-file.txt (deflated 66%)
  adding: another-dummy-file.txt (deflated 66%)
$ file archive1.zip 
archive1.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
$ cp archive1.zip archive1.xpi
}}}

F3 on {{{ archive1.xpi }}} and the same message is shown:

{{{
Cannot open ""/path/to/archive1.xpi"" in parse mode
No such file or directory (2)
}}}
