Added epiphany browser: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=857107#3
"Confirmed. Epiphany 2.22.2 - Hardy."

Happening on i386 too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=857107#4
"The problem exists on my PC as well, running Ubuntu 8.04, Intel, 32-bits."

** 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.
