This can be smoothly resolved in the mean time if Firefox is shipped with different defaults, namely to have xdg-open available as an option for all file types (which I believe is possible) and to have every file type which is not to be viewed internally instead opened using /usr/bin /xdg-open.
If possible, have xdg-open named "Default application" or some such in Firefox, so that something like the download method dialog says "Open with [default application]". I don't know much about Firefox, and I've never looked at its source, but it shouldn't take much effort to implement and the result for end users would be terrific. -- Firefox does not know what to do with downloaded files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232046 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
