In a shell:

# touch /tmp/foo
# chmod +x /tmp/foo

Then edit an association to a filetype (for an exmple ZIP) in firefox
to open with /tmp/foo . Press OK.

In a shell:

# rm /tmp/foo

Then click on a link to a file of type ZIP in firefox => problem.

The real-world case of this is when you run firefox on several
computers with the same home-directory (using NFS) and when some
application (for an example mplayer) is installed on one computer but
not on all other.
