260477 - Choose Helper Application doesn't allow selecting application

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 225574

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[reto bachmann-gmuer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

The dialog to choose a helper application doesn't allow selection of most
applications. For the content-type application/rdf+nt (innoficial) it allows
selecting:
1. any document (which makes no sense)
2. the application "SVGViewCarbon" (which cannot handle the media-type)

It doesn't allow the selection of TextEdit of jedit which I'd like to open. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to a page that serves some unusal media-type
2. press the choose button
3. try to open with TextEdit

Actual Results:  
You cannot choose the application

Expected Results:  
If firefox instists on being smart, it should at least give an option "only
suggested applications" which could be disabled in order to be able to select
any application.

Workaround: save file and open with whatever you like.
