@ktulu : That's not really possible, ATM, because there's no cross-linux desktop API to make things like this. It would requires firefox to be linked to Gnome, KDE and others desktops' libs. That strikes in front the policy of being a cross-platform browser : it's clearly not an option for Firefox.
That's probably why they have implemented their own, in Firefox 3. Maybe it was a good idea, but the result clearly sucks, with Kde users forced to go in "/usr/bin/" in order to open a file. From a Linux integrator point of view, it has REALLY complicated the work to do. BTW, the "open with" thing is more for power user (20 %). I don't know for you, but people around me are used to double clic on a file to open it, not right clic -> Open With. I was told Ubuntu was for normal user (80 %), those who do not even understand what a software or a file is, who see computer like an advanced Mp3 Player, but maybe it was just a rumor... -- [MASTER] "Open With" dialog not user-friendly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/18995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
