The upstream bug seems to be doing nothing here. Also, it seems to be addressed at a slightly different issue - this bug is that firefox should be able to use the Gnome application chooser, whereas the upstream bug is about creating a new application chooser, or something of that kind.

I'm fairly sure that a couple of Ubuntu releases ago firefox used the Gnome application chooser, whereas with the firefox-gnome-support package in dapper it now just uses a file chooser.

Has anyone investigated whether it would be difficult to use the Gnome application chooser when firefox-gnome-support is installed?
