267484 - Can not set an alternative action/application for files to "Open With"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 225574

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

When clicking on a link that doesn't have a mime handler set for it, the 
 "What should Firefox do with this file?"
dialog pops up. In the case of Real ".smil" files, even with the RealOne Player
installed QuickTime Player is listed as the default. 

If I select "Other" under the "Open With" menu, I see my /Applications
directory, but all of the application packages are grayed out and unselectable,
giving me no way to select the RealOne Player (or any other) as the application
handler.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a link to a file that Firefox doesn't have a handler for, like a
.smil file.
2. In the dialog box that pops up, chose "other" under the "Open With" menu.
3. Notice that none of the .app applications are selectable.

Actual Results:  
I could not set the application to open the file with.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have allowed me to select an application to open the file with.
