Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Deniz Sarikaya]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090701 Firefox/3.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090701 Firefox/3.5

After downloading any file and opening it, Firefox 3.5 always shows me that the file IS a file and it doesn't specify the file type more precisely even when I want to open the directory which is containing the downloaded file.

i.e. 
A.jpg is a 'file' and not a jpg
B.mp3 is a 'file' and not a mp3
C.rar is a 'file' and not a rar
/usr/home/pillum/Desktop/Cleaning/Downloads is a 'file' and not a directory

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download any file
2. Open it

or

2. Open the containing folder
Actual Results:  
It asked me how to open the 'file'.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should ask me how to open the mp3, zip, rar, directory, ... file.
