I'm having the same problem when trying to download certain archives from the web with firefox. It suggests using "Archive Manager", but then when I say to open the file with it it gives the same error message as Peter.
Example of a problematic file on the web can be found at: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/V.Kolmogorov/software.html
and then try to open any of the .tar.gz files.
Running Firefox 3.0.11 on Ubuntu 9.04.
