Description Anthony Hunter

The /defaults.pref URL is supposed to send raw JSON content. For whatever reason, when we put the Orion server behind a particular nginx proxy, FireFox ESR browsers received this as x-gzip content type rather than plain like Chrome. 

The file should have the header:
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

The pref extension is missing a mime type setting.

This was done using the equinox extension points in commit:
