Made a topic on ubuntuforums.org for testing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5369513 Let's hope they won't close it :)
All the attachments so far did not work, except .pdf - it opened the file correctly Could be a problem related to desktop entries in /usr/share/applications/ ? Or firefox gives/badly parses a bad address to the applications? ** Description changed: Clicking some links in firefox-3.0 to download files displays the open/save dialog correctly, but if 'open' is selected with the default application, it fails with an error. Saving works as intended. The resulting error is: Download Error /tmp/(filename) could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.
