[Bug 286150] [NEW] firefox "open with" dialog does not include the default application

[tommy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

This bug appears on amd64 running fully updated intrepid beta, firefox
version 3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1.

The situation was more correctly handled in hardy, so I view it as a
regression.

When clicking on a link to a .torrent file, the save/open dialog that
appears only has the choice to open with "Transmission BitTorrent Client
(default)", even though I have installed another bittorrent client
(Deluge, deluge-torrent.org) and marked it as the default application to
open .torrent files with in nautilus.

Steps to reproduce:

1) download a torrent file (e.g. http://www.mininova.org/get/1923199 ), selecting to save it, not open it
2) install latest version of deluge bittorrent client from http://deluge-torrent.org/
3) right click on the torrent file in nautilus and select Properties > Open With > Deluge
4) close and reopen firefox
5) click on the torrent link again in firefox to bring up the save/open dialog

Expected result:

In hardy, the "open with" option changed to the default application to
open that type of file.

Actual result:

"open with" still has the option for "Transmission BitTorrent Client
(default)", and there is a strange new "firefox-3-0-3" option which is
unable to open the file. Deluge is not listed at all.
