Click on the xlsx file. When you get 'Open With', select 'Other'. Browse to your soffice shell (not soffice.bin) and click. Then check the 'Do this automatically for files...'. Now test again & the file should open in OOo (read only as it is /tmp). You can set it back to 'Always Ask' in Edit->Preferences->Browser->Helper Applications>Microsoft Excel Worksheet (application/vnd.openxmlformats...)
