Public bug reported:
Downloading an unknown file type in Firefox displays a dialog for choosing
which application to use for opening the file.
The dialog contains a check box labelled "Always do this action from now on".
Checking this option does not work: When I download a file of the same type
next time, the same dialog is displayed again.
This feature is broken for as long as I can remember (> 10 years). It's
time it was fixed (or removed).
