Public bug reported:
I just installed Kubuntu 12.04 beta 1.
Both Rekong and Firefox don't know how to "Open Containing Folder" for
downloaded items. They also don't know how open the item itself.
Furthermore, if I manually tell Firefox (in the dialog) to remember the
file associations, that creates a new problem. Every file opens in
Dolphin first, then Dolphin opens the correct application.
Here are the steps to reproduce this.
1. boot up into a Live CD.
2. change software sources to enable downloading packages
3. install Firefox using the menu item under Main Menu > Internet > Firefox
installer
4. open Firefox after it finishes installing
5. download and save any file. I tested with a PDF.
6. open the downloads dialog (Firefox > Tools > Downloads)
7. right click the downloaded item and choose Open Containing Folder.
[8. for many file types, attempting to open the item from this Downloads
dialogs, such as opening JPEG, will produce the same issue.]
Expected result:
Firefox should know to open the folder in Dolphin.
It should also know how to open various types of content with the correct
application (i.e., using mime types).
Actual results:
Firefox does not know how to open the folder. Dolphin is not even suggested as
a default option.
Firefox also doesn't know how to open most file types.
Rekonq has the same (or similar) problems.
This issue is present in both an installed system (64 bit via Alt
installer) as well as a Live environment from the DVD.
Possibly relevant:
In Firefox preferences > Applications, the only content types shown are
irc, ircs, mailto, podcast, tar file, webca and webfeed. Normally, there
would be many more.
