Reproducible: Always

2.On the local machine, right click the file and click 'open with...' and choose firefox beta 3
3.Firefox launches utorrent
Actual Results:

This is a new issue in Firefox beta 3. This method of installing addons used to work till firefox beta 2.

Works normally here.

Also Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090313 Shiretoko/3.1b4pre works fine for me.
