After a file finished downloading I click in the Open link,button in Download Manager. The button turns from blue to red and nothing happens. I read on a forum that I should edit the options in Edit -> Preferences -> Contents tab -> File types panel -> Manage... But this is another problem...I have no file type entry in the list(although Download Manager has files displaying).

I want to make the Open button work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download a file
2.Open the Download Manager(if it's configured to close after the download is finished)
3.Click on the Open Button,Link for the file you just Downloaded
4.Nothing happens.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happened.

Expected Results:  
Open the file with the appropiate programme.

I simply Save Page as... www.google.com. "Open" should open the saved file in the browser.

Anything in the Error Console (with chrome warnings enabled)?

What type of Linux Desktop are you using?

Nothing in the error console or in the terminal. Running FC7 gnome desktop.

We fixed this on trunk - it only works with gnome.
