Fix Firefox "open with" ending up in the Home directory

[jean-philippe]

Hi

This one is strictly Firefox, but bothersome to the general, average user: when Firefox doesn't know what to do with a file, it offers to either save it or 'open with''.
But 'open with' opens up the in Home, while for 'nix machines it should obviously open up a full dialog with list of software+opportunity to enter the name oneself - like both Nautilus, Dolphin & others.

It would be great if Canonical could dedicate time to fix this issue; it may not fully comply with the PaperCut definition, but it's one that could completely confuse the newcomer, unaware of the Linux file system. And slow down everybody else. The system-wide "open with" is really cool - Get Firefox to use it!

Thanks!
