[Kubuntu] Cannot open downloaded files in firefox

[Romain Henriet]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

For example, I download a zip file with firefox and try to open it from firefox's download manager. I get a dialog asking to choose an application to open "file" links. The same thing happens if you click on "open folder containing the file", although it is expected to open a folder.
The correct behaviour would be to open the zip file using ark, or asking for an application to open zip files.
