[Bug 293290] [NEW] firefox won't use openoffice to open a downloaded doc file

[Pablo Castellano]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox doesn't open any doc file I have downloaded clicking in the download window.
However if you choose to open it instead of saving it to disk, it's opened correctly.

Try this for example:
europass.cedefop.europa.eu/img/dynamic/c1344/type.FileContent.file/CVTemplate_es_ES.doc

Intrepid 8.10 fully updated
