Package: mozilla-firebird
Version: 0.7-1
Severity: normal
When you download a file, Mozilla shows a nice "Opening filename.foo"
dialog, where it offers you to "(*) Open with" some application. You
click on "Other..." and a file selection dialog appears[1]. You go to
/usr/bin and select gvim (which is a symlink to vim). Mozilla Firebird
silently resolves that link and starts console mode vim with the
terminal attached to ~/.xsession-errors instead of opening a normal gvim
window.
Mozilla Firebird 0.6 did not have this problem.
[1] Konqueror does that much better: a text box where you can enter
the name of the application (with autocompletion and with automatic
lookup in $PATH), plus you can enter command line arguments. And
there's a Browse button if you *really* want to manually select an
application from a list of 2000+ executables in /usr/bin.
