Title:
Can't use custom launchers for file associations
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
I have set up Microsoft Office 2007 under wine and I have managed to
change the gnome file associations to open with Microsoft Office
instead of OpenOffice.org but Firefox doesn't seem to be convinced it
is a real application.
I tried deleting mimeTypes.rdf so it would pull the settings from
gnome when I restart but it didn't help. It still shows no other
option than OpenOffice.org.
I also tried telling firefox to open with the word 2007 launcher from
~/.share/local/applications and also the xml file "msword" from
~/.share/local/mime with no help. It just doesn't do anything.
In addition, I tried to make a bash file with the same command as the
file association from gnome with no effect as well.
After choosing to open with one of the above nothing happens and if I
double click on the file in the "Downloads" window it opens with
OpenOffice.org.
I'm filing this as a bug with Firefox because the associations work
fine both in nautilus and when opening a downloaded file through
chromium.
