Using File->Open File, I select the MS Word (2000) document from the file
seclection window. Instead of opening the document in Word, mozilla opens the
dialogue to save the just selected document. I just cannot make it open any word
document.
However, I can open any other document (excel, staroffice, powerpoint, etc)
using the same method. Note I tried filenames that had spaces in them and that
didn't have spaces in them. No matter what the filename, mozilla just doesn't
open the word doc. It used to work properly in Moz 1.2.1
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.File->Open to open a local MS Word file on the local disk
2.Mozilla opens the 'save file as' dialogue window.
3.
Actual Results:
Mozilla opens the 'save file as' dialogue window asking me to save the selected
file.
Expected Results:
Browser should execute word to open the MS Word file.
Pinball Theme but it occurs even with the default classic/modern themes.

Noted that there is a pref in pref.js getting set (something like
helper.applications.neverAsk.saveToFile) that includes application/msword. When
I manually remove that line, this problem doesn't happen. Don't know how that
preference got set.
