Thanks, there is no more problem with the Run command. Now I understand better how the Triggers popup window is meant to work (I didn't intuitively understand it).
For the Quicksilver + Firefox problem: I don't find anything unusual in Firefox Preferences / Applications. Mostly "Always ask" and that does work as it should. There is just this completely unexpected extra behavior where four .dmg files are mounted when a Firefox download is starting. I've never encountered anything like this before. To me it seems like QuickSilver is somehow triggered by the Firefox download and then the .dmg files are mounted. I have no other explanation at this point. I do not know how to debug this.
