Binary package hint: gvfs-bin

In Ubuntu 7.10 there was Firefox 2 web browser. By default it did not open downloaded files in application which I associated that filetype with in Nautilus.
To make firefox respect Nautilus associations, I added directive "network.protocol-handler.app.file gnome-open" in about:config dialog. This solved the problem. In Ubuntu 8.04 I have the same problem. I added directive "network.protocol-handler.app.file gvfs-open" in about:config dialog, but this does not solve my problem. Firefox opens downloaded file in different application, then set in nautilus. I tried to replace gnome-open and xdg-open by gvfs-open symlink in /usr/bin. But problem is still there. It is unplesant for my users to set their favourite application in nautilus and see that firefox and thunderbird ignore it. I have fully updated system.

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
