[Bug 1294689] Re: Firefox doesn't use dolphin to open download directory

[Sergio Callegari]

Editing /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache is not a fix because:

1) The file is periodically recreated
2) The way in which it is recreated is correct. This file is not meant to specify a preferred order in which applications should be used to open links, but merely what applications can deal with what mime types (as such the order in which the file reports applications associated to some mime type is by definition random.
3) The issue is that some applications including firefox look at this file rather than at mimeapps.list or defaults.list to determine the default apps.

Bug is known by firefox developers (see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727422).

I suggest that this bug is made a duplicate of bug 1551171, that better
specifies what is going on.
