Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

See the following link:

http://www.box.net/shared/m0hiirm88o

When clicking 'Download', the .odt document is downloaded, and it is offered to open the document with gedit, instead with openoffice.

I suppose the fix is trivial. It happened to me on 8.04, with firefox 3beta5 (3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3).

It appears to happen to all kinds of files: torrents as well, for instance...
