Bug Description

(originally reported in bug #1528651)

Steps to reproduce:

 1) Browse to https://help.ubuntu.com
 2) Long press on one of the hyperlinks labelled "HTML"
 3) Choose "Save link"
 4) Choose the second option in the dialog, "Download"
 5) The downloads view is open, once the download of the file is complete, tap on it

Current result: an "Open with" dialog is shown, the document viewer app is available but not the browser, opening the file with the document viewer displays the HTML source of the page.

Expected result: the HTML file is opened in the browser directly (or alternatively the browser is offered as an application able to handle it).
