256741 - In Preferences, cannot select Preview for opening pdf files

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 225574

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Richard Hertzberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

Preferences-> Downloads-> Filetypes-> pdf-> Change action

Preview is OSX default pdf viewer, but it is grayed out under Firefox
preferences. BBEdit does show up, and Acrobat of course, so some apps are
accessible.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Preferences-> Downloads-> Filetypes-> pdf-> Change action
2. click   Open in this application
3. search for Applications:Preview


Actual Results:  
The app Preview is grayed out and cannot be selected.

Expected Results:  
Allow Preview to be selected as the default for pdf files.

Might be similar to bug 242116 , but seems different because it is in
Preferences, not in download.  
Note that using Firefox 0.9.3 ,  I cannot reproduce bug 242116 (which used
Firefox 0.8). My downloads can all be opened.
