@Coren: there are often multiple applications for the same MIME-type registered with the desktop-environment, but currently in Firefox there is no way to select them from that list of registered applications, nor does it allow you to select from the other registered applications (e.g. because the M

Coren, I didn't test it, but I don't think your patch addresses this bug. What this bug is about is that you can't optionally choose other applications registered for the same file type (as is common in e.g. nautilus). (Sorry if I'm wrong about your patch.) -- "Open With" dialog not user-friend

Hi *, With this small patch applied on Firefox 3 source code, (patch to apply on xulrunner-1.9 package), there's no more need to "open with" and no more problems with others Desktop environments like KDE or XFCE. It's based (and so requires) a really small dependency : xdg-open (~5Kb of

I (Obviously) experience this as well. It's insanely annoying. I don't even try to open the files through that dialog anymore, and instead just save them and open them from the nautilus desktop.
