[Bug 977195] [NEW] Firefox tries to open Microsoft Office .doc files with gedit even though it should try to open them with LibreOffice

[Lazy]

Public bug reported:

As the summary says, only gedit is an option from the open menu. I have
to manually type "/usr/bin/libreoffice" to the "Other..." option to
actually open the file.
