@ktulu77 :
I have forgotten the MarkMail URL in my previous post: http://markmail.org/message/mcarb3i4gg5hcvm3#query:+page:1+mid:qxaeqv22o3pkzgvx+state:results.

On Nautilus 2.26.2, on Jaunty, I don't have the two tabs. Strange.

You will not be happy, because you're right. First, the freedesktop
project doesn't provide (yet?) a dialog for 'Open with'. Second, the
'Open with' dialog is hardwired in Nautilus and could not easily be
extracted. The native 'Open with' dialog from a Firefox extension seems
then to be a harsh part.

About xdg-open, I don't understand the benefit of that compared to the
existing code. When you download a type of file from Firefox that you
have never open yet, it already automatically proposes, in the dropdown
list 'Open with', the associated system application. What the use of
this patch with xdg-open in this case because it seems the function is
already here?
