But these where still registered in the "Preferred Applications" dialogue. Thus no links where opened. I think this problem should be recognised and fixed when the packages which contain mozilla-firefox are removed. So the preferred applications are automatically updated, not only to "firefox %s" but also the correct application is selected in the combobox.
