Bug Description
Hard to say if this is a problem in LottaNZB, the installer or Firefox, but I just installed LottaNZB.
When I click in Firefox to download an NZB file from the Newzbin site, the download window gives me the option "Open with 'LottaNZB Automated Usenet Client'".
If I select this and press ok, I get the error pop up: "/tmp/Ugly Betty - 3x24 - The Fall Issue.nzb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."
If I save the NZB file and then click in Nautilus the NZB is opened with the LottaNZB program.

Hi Steve,
this is a know bug that hasn't been traced down yet despite the fact that it's really annoying. As far as I know, it doesn't even work on my machine at the moment (it did once, when I added the feature ;-)). Another user has already reported it in the 'Answers' section but we could find a solution either.
If this is a problem with LottaNZB, it definitely needs to be fixed. I'll run some more experiment.
For the moment, instead of opening the NZB file in Nautilus, you could also try to double-click on it in the Firefox download manager as soon as the download is complete. Weirdly, this worked on my machine. It does not with Firefox 3.5 Beta_something, which I'm currently using.
