Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When click on links to some files (such as a .PDF), Firefox shows the
"Opening *" dialog, with radio button choices for "Open with" and "Save
File". "Open with" is generally (but not always) selected by default,
but the OK button is not always sensitive. Clicking the "Open with"
radio button again makes it sensitive so I can continue.

Actually it seems that this might be a window focus issue. I just
noticed that, when the dialog is not focused (though it's always in
front), the Cancel button can be clicked, but the OK button is
insensitive. It becomes sensitive when I click the window to bring it to
the front again. Maybe it wasn't specifically the Open with radio button
that had to be clicked, but anywhere on the window, and maybe this is
some design decision. If so, it's rather obscure and gives the
impression of a bug. At the least,  an explanatory tooltip on the button
would give some clue to the user about what is happening so I don't just
assume that Firefox is broken.

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
