Firefox remembers at most 2 helper applications.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto any page with a pdf file link, e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=+filetype%3Apdf+pdf
2. Click the link
3. Dialog appears with "Open with" listing:
   /usr/bin/gpdf (default)
   /usr/bin/ggv
4. Click others, and choose /usr/bin/evince
5. File is opened
6. Click the link again
Actual Results:  
Dialog appears with "Open with" listing:
   /usr/bin/gpdf (default)
   /usr/bin/evince

Expected Results:  
Dialog appears with "Open with" listing:
   /usr/bin/gpdf (default)
   /usr/bin/ggv
   /usr/bin/evince

PDF is one example. Media files are another.
There can really be many players capable of playing the same file.
Firefox should remember them all, instead of only 2.
