Bug Description
To recreate:
1. Click a URL that downloads a .png file
2. The browser shows a "What should Firefox do with this file?" dialog
3. Click "Open With", then select "Other..." in the drop-down
What happens:
* New dialog appears titled "Choose Helper Application" but it is a file system browser that requires me to navigate to the exact location of any application I choose
What should happen:
* I should see an application picker. I don't care where they live on disk.
This happens on all versions of Firefox I care to try on any release of Ubuntu.
