Title: No way to open docx files directly from firefox--only option to save allowed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: According to the help page on adding download actions (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20file%20types#w_adding- download-actions), if one clicks on a file type that Firefox does not already have an action for, it will ask whether you want to "Open with" an application that you specify or "Save file." This happens for most file types but for some reason not with docx. Instead firefox simply asks where I want to save the file with no option to specify a helper application. This makes it impossible to quickly view docx files by opening them in LibreOffice.
