Package: firefox-3.0
Version: 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
Severity: normal

When a sends am "attachment" header the result is that
Firefox only offers to save it and not to open it.

The problem is Ubuntu specific: I've tried to download
firefox-3.0 from mozill.org and it works as expected on
Debian (testing) but not on Ubuntu (Hardy).
