Package: firefox
Version: 1.99+2.0b2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I gave this experimental version a try. Bugs were expected, here is
a long-standing one:

After installing firefox, I removed
..mozilla and .firefox directories to start from scratch.

When I click on a link to a .doc file, firefox suggests
opening it with abiword. Fine!

Then I click the box for "Do it like this from now on", hoping
to never ever see this box again. At least not for .doc documents.

I also get a message that I can change this in the download
section of edit->settings.  Interesting - for this is a problem
with an earlier firefox - the download settings are there
but nothing can be done about them.

I "OK" this dialog, and click on another .doc file. The
stupid dialog pops up again! I think it wasn't supposed to,
because "do like  this from now on" is still checked. But
it makes no difference.  Restarting firefox makes no
difference either.

So I try opening the settings. Surprise surprise, no
download section/tab at all.  Oh well, it is a beta.
So I file this bug so it perhaps it isn't forgotten.

Now reverting to an older firefox who also have this
problem, but at least it is capable of opening pdf files too - 
something this beta won't do for me.
