Firefox fails to open Word documents (doc) on download despite it being specified as the program to use for .doc in the preferences file and having the box ticked that says to do this next time with this type of file. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download Word document
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Dialog box appears asking what to do with file - choose.  

Expected Results:  
Should open document without further command

It would be a good idea if the [choose] box in this dialog box held onto some of the programs that had been chosen before so one could simply scroll down to the program used.  This is not happening currently.

Is Firefox the app listed to open these documents?  That's what it sounds like from your report, so could you clarify please?

WFM and everywhere in the company.

please feel free to reopen this bug report if you think this should not be closed and you have a new test case to show the problem.
