Bug#1003206: libglib2.0-0: the terminal for desktop files with Terminal=true should be configurable

[Vincent Lefevre]

First, the issue with Firefox seems obsolete as

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196078

was fixed one year ago, i.e. unrecognized text/* files now open
in Firefox instead of Emacs via a terminal. I can no longer find
to a way to make Firefox open a terminal.

BTW, the related firejail issue with urxvt has been fixed too.

If this still matters for Firefox, the issue is that it is not
installed by default.
