When clicking on eg. a PDF link, the 'Opening ...' dialog appears, permitting
selection of 'Open with' and 'Save file'. 'Open with' doesn't give any indication as to which (or even if any) app has been chosen previously.
This is a constant source of frustration.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a non-html link
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Radiobutton 'Open with' and button 'Browse...' appears - no indication if any app has been configged.

Expected Results:  
I would suggest the name of the application configured previously (eg. to the right of the Browse button) and '<not selected yet>' or similar message in that case.
... or do away with the Browse button completely, and leave the drop-down which appears _after_ browsing. As there is an option for 'Other...', the Browse button isn't really necessary.
Severity: normal → S3
