I have the same problem. I tried installing firefox-gnome-support and its dependencies. It looked like a dubious fix for xubuntu, because the deb description claims it "allows it to use protocol handlers from Gnome-VFS" but I thought xfce didn't have or use gnome vfs. Anyway, that populated the applications list in firefox's preferences, but it didn't fix the problem. For example, my action for "zip archive" is set to "always ask", but clicking a zip archive does not ask me what app to launch; it only gives me a "save file" button, which is the same behavior as before I installed firefox-gnome-support.
