[Test Case] We should perform this test on Ubuntu 20.04 as well as some flavors to ensure we do not regress. * Download any deb in firefox, double click on the downloaded file - On Ubuntu this should open "Ubuntu Software" - On flavors it should open whatever their default app for handling debs is [Regression Potential] * For Ubuntu, very low, rarely would a user expect to open a deb with file-roller * Other flavors of ubuntu are overriding this default and should not be affected. We do need to test this on other flavors to ensure their defaults are still honored.
