Bug Description

when trying to "open with" in firefox it doesnt give the option of all application gnome knows about...

for example, install acrobat reader and then try to open a pdf from a webpage with it...you will have to choose other and then manually find the binary...this is a bit archaic...why cant firefox just show a list of available applications like gnome does when it does "open with"...

thanks
