Firefox says it will open a PNG in gthumb, but runs gimp instead

[Reuben Thomas]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When I click on a link to a PNG image, Firefox pops up a dialog offering to open it in "gthumb (default)". I click OK, and the image is opened...in gimp.

If I explicitly set the application to use to /usr/bin/gthumb from the dialog, it does indeed use gthumb.

Do You still have this problem? Thank You for making Ubuntu better.

I am no longer using Firefox 3.0. In Firefox 3.5 I do not have this problem (if I click on a link to a PNG image, Firefox opens it itself).
