[Bug 232046] Re: Firefox does not know what to do with downloaded files

[sebek]

The last comment of defaulting app to xdg-open (or gnome-open) seems to
be simple to implement and will greatly ease ubuntu experience.

This bug is a major issue for normal users because :
1) they don't always know the name of the application, nautilus usually choose for them.
2) they don't know the exact command line name for the application (example : in the menu you will click on Text Editor OpenOffice.org, but the real binary name is in fact ooffice)
3) only advanced users know how to browse to /bin and use the keyboard to find the app between the 129 applications I have in /bin
4) they have to do again an association filetype->program. They usually did that already in nautilus. 

So I want to promote this bug to the hundredpapercut project
