Bug Description

Screenshots in attachment

1. Firefox browser - Find a downloadable file link and click on it

2. A pop-up appears showing "Sublime Text"as the app that can open it (link-open-dialog.png).

3. Use the drop-down and click "other".

4. The popped up picker screen is a file search utility picker screen (file-picker.png) and no applications are shown even after search (I've uGet installed; but I tried searching other apps - all it returns are files and folders and not apps)

It should app-picker as it is shown (app-picker.png) if someone wants to change default associated app with a file type after right-clicking on the file and selecting "properties".

Could it be the browser calling "file-picker" instead of "app-picker"?

I think I need to close the bug if that's the case. How can I check that log as in what Firefox is asking the OS to do?

Marking as invalid for Contractor. Firefox doesn't make use of contractor. This is definitely a bug in Firefox. Please file a bug with Mozilla.
