this is very interesting.

I have gnome-mime and some other stuff, so FireFox realizes that file-roller is
the default app for opening this file. [I didn't chose to open it]
the real funny thing that I cannot even open it!

hope that's useful for you

This site requires a login. Can you reproduce this in Firefox 0.9 using a clean
profile?

As aebrahim said, this requires a login to test. Since I can't, and this was
reported on 0.8 AND the reporter hasn't responded, I'm marking WORKSFORME. Also,
removing the URL, since it no longer works.

Reporter: Please download a nightly build and use a clean profile to reproduce
this. If you still can (and can offer something that is testable by others)
reproduce, please reopen.
