I can confirm this also. looks similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133133

this has been kicking around for ages.. so whats the deal. firefox problem or Ubuntu packaging problem?

as i understand it firefox must use xdg-open etc to open the file manger.. is it?

anyway i thought it might be something with the unr interfacee so switched to classic desktop but the problem still occurs. ill look at ubuntu 9.04 standard (non-unr) to see if the problem happens there, im on my eee-pc at the moment.

so more information:

downloading a pdf it does give you the option to open with evince but if you choose to save, you cant double click to open.

you cant choose "open containing folder" in the above situation either.. in both situations it brings up a firefox launch application dialog.

so what can we do to get rid of this?
