Bug Description
Open firefox
Browse somewhere
open some file, in my case: http://
(.pls defaults to rhythmbox)
open it with an other than the default application: click rhythmbox and select
other.
This gives us the "choose helper application" gtk file selector.
Instead, it should present a window with a list installed programs, like
nautilus does when you add an program to it's list nautilus > rightmouse on file
> open with other... > "open with" window.
Default firefox to use the open with dialog instead.

I can confirm Hidde's reported bug.
It make more sense to open a list of installed applications rather than a file
selector.
