Your patch only for nsHelperAppDlg.js. It's for dialog of opening file. But it does not remove Firefox file system associations. And it does not change it for xdg-open. I just patched nsHelperAppDlg.js in root omni.ja. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/18995 Title: [MASTER] "Open With" dialog not user-friendly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/18995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
