Bug Description

In the download page, a "Sorry there arent currently any apps installed that can handle this type of content" message from the peer picker is displayed when one clicks on a downloaded content (e.g. pdf) for which no handler app is installed.

If one installs such apps for the corresponding content (e.g. beru for pdfs), and retries to open the document w/o closing the browser the same message appears which is not very pleasant and puzzling (from the user's perspective) as a behavior.
