Bug Description
When you click on a tgz file in firefox a menu pops up to save or open the archive in archive manger. If you choose to open in archive manager fails to open it. However if you save it then open it archive manger can open it. You can solve the problem by choosing to have firefox open it in file-roller. However this should either be default or archive manger should be able to handle it. Especially because this is an open format.

I tried to replicate this in the latest version of Firefox (3.0.10) but couldn't. Is this something that is only affecting a legacy version of Firefox or is it manifesting itself in the latest version on your system?
