Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
If I try to open a file that firefox cannot natively read, it offers to open with an external program. Unfortunately, it gives only two options: a default, and "other" which requires browsing through the filesystem to find the application manually.
It would be much better if it would instead give a list of all apps which can handle the file's MIME type or the URL's protocol.
at the least it should be possible to somehow set a different application as the "default".
