Title:
  Firefox download manager doesn't handle torrents

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

  The Firefox download manager does not handle .torrent downloads.

  Steps to reproduce:
  * Navigate to a popular torrent site such as thepiratebay.org
  * Search for "Big Buck Bunny" and click a relevant result
  * Click the link to begin the download

  Expected result:
  * Firefox downloads Big Buck Bunny, as it would using HTTP or FTP

  Actual result:
  * Firefox downloads the .torrent file, offering to pass it on to Transmission.

  Notes:
  * This behavior is confusing to anyone who is not familiar with bittorrent, 
ie the "humans" for whom Ubuntu is designed.
