268498 - Open with dialog grays out applications

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 234243

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Daniel Rosenberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

When download a file (in this instance, entitled "launch.asp" that is supposed
to run using the Citrix file handler, but I think it's more general) when
choosing an application to handle the downloaded file I can select any
non-executable file as the handling application, but all executable applications
are grayed out.

Thus, I cannot select an application to open my file type.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a file called "launch.asp" to download
2. In "Opening launch.asp" dialog, select "Open with..." and hit the "Choose..."
button
3. Attempt to select any executable. Note how executables are grayed out, but
text files and data files are not.

I take my previous comment back. I actually cannot reproduce this bug. (My
previous comment has no value)

I tried to reproduce by downloading an .exe file but I couldn't even press the
button to choose an application to open it in. I think it's supposed to be like
that though.  :-)

Sorry about the spam.
