Whereas there is such a dialog in KDE (KOpenWithDialog), there is no such thing yet in Gnome. The 'Open with…' dialog is hardwired in Nautilus (libnautilus). It's why it's not so simple.

The other problem is that you cannot wish that Firefox has a different behavior in Gnome and in KDE. There is a Linux packaging, not a Desktop packaging.

A possible way would be to put in firefox-gnome-support, and the equivalent for KDE, until there is a FreeDesktop spec, but it's no more upstream in this case.
