Bug description:
Clicking some links in firefox-3.0 to download files displays the
open/save dialog correctly, but if 'open' is selected with the default
application, it fails with an error. Saving works as intended.
The resulting error is:
Download Error
/tmp/(filename) could not be opened, because the associated helper
application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.
