Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

System: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid), but I beleave it's not version specific.

Package: firefox-3.0.4 or firefox-gnome-support-3.0.4

Expected behaviour: When you click in a link, like a .torrent file, Firefox opens a dialog where you can choose "Open with" or "Save File". The drop-down menu next to the "Open with" where I choose the application I want to use to open the file should show me all the applications I have registered in the gnome mime-type database.

What happens: Firefox only shows the default mime-type handler.
