284092 - "Open with default application" field is empty for some apps/extensions

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[PikeUK]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050228 Firefox/1.0+

For some apps/extensions the "Open with default application" in the "Download
Actions" section of Options contains no text, just an icon. I've seen this with
WinZip9/.zip, 7-Zip/.zip and Azureus/.torrent.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Install one of the above apps and make it the default app for the associated
filetype.
2. Start Firefox.
3. Download a file of the relevant type and tell it to "Do this automatically
for files of this type from now on".
4. Goto Tools->Options->Downloads->View & Edit Actions
5. Highlight the relevant file type and press "Change Action".
6. Notice how the "Open them with the default application" box is empty.

Some filetypes e.g. AdobeReader6/.pdf work as expected and have a name filled in
the default application box, others are empty.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

"Download Actions" has been replaced with "Applications" (which appears to work fine with 7-Zip), so closing this bug as INVALID.
