Places Menu, Firefox, and FTP "Network Servers"

Hi everyone,

I would just like to confirm what I am seeing.

Open up a Nautilus window. Select from the menu "File" --> "Connect to Server".

Now select "Service type" to be any valid FTP account. Once connected
a Nautilus window opens with the FTP data displayed. Now, in the
"Places" menu, there will be an entry for this new FTP connection
under the "Network Servers" option. Open Firefox and click the newly
created FTP connection in the "Places" menu. Under my system, it will
attempt to open the FTP connection under Firefox instead of under the
expected result of opening in Nautilus. I was able to get it back to
opening under Nautilus from the Places menu, but so far, it now opens
again in Firefox.

I'm assuming the expected behaviour is to open in Nautilus for file
transfer, correct? Is anyone else seeing this? No bugzilla entry for
this yet. Would like to confirm what I'm seeing is happening with
others, and that this is a bug.
