After re-reading the messages here, and considering that I have been thinking in terms of bug 220504 (which was marked as a duplicate of this one), I think I should restate my situation. My problem is not exactly the same as described above; sorry for misleading.
In my case, clicking a zip archive link in firefox 3 does not ask me what app to launch, though firefox 2 did ask. (Same web site in both cases.) Instead, firefox 3 pops up a dialog that only gives me "save file" and "cancel" buttons. It does not offer to let me choose an application. I'm running xubuntu hardy, upgraded from gutsy, using a new firefox 3 profile. -- Open file with external application broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
