Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.6-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
This report is about the applications used by
iceweasel to open downloaded files. It seems
the preferences for these appliactions are
ignored when the files are opened from the
"Downloads" window. I'm using KDE, but I think
this applies to other environments as well.
As an example, find a link to a pdf file.
Here's a small one (it's currently the second
link on a google search for "short tutorial pdf")
http://www.isi.edu/natural-language/teaching/cs562/2009/readings/B06.pdf
When I click this link, the file is downloaded
and opened in my selected pdf handler, okular.
This is as it should be.
However, now, if I go to the downloads window
(either one left open from the download, or one
opened through Tools->Downloads), and try to
open it from there (either double-click or
right-click->Open), it opens in kghostview, which
was the default pdf handler (I know this because
I tested on a clean profile).
Likewise, "open folder" opens in Nautilus, no matter
how much it is told to use Dolphin.
I believe this bug is a generalization of the infamous
#490665; it may be also related to #529459 (it is
unclear there what method was used to open the file).
Thanks,
Shai.
