Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Upgraded from gutsy gibbon to hardy heron with consequent firefox upgrade. When I try to open a .wav attachment, I would like it top open with /usr/bin/play instead of the default. Instead of opening the application with the desired application, the download manager just shows that the file has been downloaded. I can only open it with the original default application, even though I changed the default.

so this is in fact: "download manager window doesnt honour custom
application selected in Edit -> Preference -> Applications for a
certain content type" ?
