 with the new Download manager. After I download a file, if I click to open in it in the download manager, it fails to open the file and I get this error in the error console. 

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIExternalProtocolService.loadUrl]"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.js :: openExternal :: line 521"  data: no]

 This probably only happens under Linux/Gnome.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a file.
2. Open the new Download 
3. Click to open the file
Actual Results:  
File does not open.

Expected Results:

Also, right clicking and selecting "Open containing folder" doesn't work and gives the same exact error in error console as above.

Shawn Wilsher, does this happen on windows too or is it "gnome integration" related? I don't have access to a windows machine so I cannot test.

[Shawn Wilsher :sdwilsh]

This is a linux only bug.  I hope to look into this today or tomorrow (the problem of course being that I cannot test a fix)

I think this is a dupe of Bug 391640 actually, which I'm just about to land, so let me know if it is fixed once the build cycles please.

I did a new cvs update and opening files from the download manager now works.
However it uses the same action for opening the file and 'open containing folder'

I right clicked on the downloaded image file in the download manager, I clicked 'Open', it gave me a dialog and I pointed it to /usr/bin/gthumb ( and image viewer) and selected 'remember my choice for file links' and it successfully opened the image file using the image viewer.

However, 'open containing folder' also opened the image using the image viewer instead of opening my download folder using nautilus. Should I open a new bug for that?

Yes please, that is a different bug.
