User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I setup bittorrent as a helper application.  The Mimetype is
"application/x-bittorrent" and the Extension is "torrent".  I have mozilla
checked to Open it with: "/usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py" and Always ask me before
handling files of this type is NOT checked. 

I assumed that when I encountered a torrent file, Mozilla would automatically
open btdownloadgui.py. Instead it comes up with a dialog box saying that the
file is of type "application/x-bittorrent" and mozilla does not know how to
handle this file type.  Mozilla defaults to Save it As.., however if I check
Open It with, Mozilla already has btdownloadgui.py filled in for me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register the bitttorrent helper app
2. Try to download a torrent file
3.

Actual Results:  
The "Opening" dialog box appeared allowing me to select what to do with the file

Expected Results:  
It should have automatically opened bittorrent

Sorry, I just mistyped some text in the helper apps dialog. It works as I expect
now. Thanks
