Lazy and anyone else affected, We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time. Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017. Do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this bug report will expire in approximately 60 days time. Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

This may be solved by upgrading to a newer version of Firefox because I tried to recreate your bug and was not able. I have Firefox 19 though so you may want to just upgrade and it will choose libraoffice. --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977195 Title: Firefox tries to open Microsoft Office .doc files with gedit even though it should try to open them with LibreOffice Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: As the summary says, only gedit is an option from the open menu.
