Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Firefox 3.5 Bug:
After a user downloads a .doc file, if the user goes to Firefox's Downloads
window and does a right-click -> Open on the .doc file, for some reason this
invokes Wine and then Wine returns a "There is no Windows program configured to
open this type of file." error. OpenOffice is never invoked.
What should have happened:
When a user right clicks a .doc file in the Downloads window, it should open
the document up in OpenOffice.
What happened instead:
When a user right clicks a .doc file, for some reason it invokes Wine and then
Wine returns a "There is no Windows program configured to open this type of
file. error.
I went to Edit -> Preferences -> Applications in Firefox and it says
that the default program for .doc files is OpenOffice, yet for some
reason this is not the case with the Downloads window.
I have checked the Wine installation and it is fine. Is there any way
to fix this Downloads window bug?
