[Bug 396275] [NEW] Firefox Downloads window opens doc files in Wine instead of OpenOffice

[Hephaestus Malleus]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Firefox 3.5 Bug:
After a user downloads a .doc file, if the user goes to Firefox's Downloads window and does a right-click -> Open on the .doc file, for some reason this invokes Wine and then Wine returns a "There is no Windows program configured to open this type of file." error.  OpenOffice is never invoked.

What should have happened:
When a user right clicks a .doc file in the Downloads window, it should open the document up in OpenOffice.

What happened instead:
When a user right clicks a .doc file, for some reason it invokes Wine and then Wine returns a "There is no Windows program configured to open this type of file. error.

I went to Edit -> Preferences -> Applications in Firefox and it says
that the default program for .doc files is OpenOffice, yet for some
reason this is not the case with the Downloads window.

I have checked the Wine installation and it is fine.  Is there any way
to fix this Downloads window bug?
