(Get the code!)
I flagged some other launchpad as duplicate of the current one.
As reported in one of the duplicates (LP #232046) :
"""This can be smoothly resolved in the mean time if Firefox is shipped with different defaults, namely to have xdg-open available as an option for all file types (which I believe is possible) and to have every file type which is not to be viewed internally instead opened using /usr/bin/xdg-open.
If possible, have xdg-open named "Default application" or some such in Firefox, so that something like the download method dialog says "Open with [default application]". """
Because it has an easy solution and it will greatly ease general user experience, I agree with Mat that it should be promoted as the hundredpapercuts project.
I guess it can be done in the ubufox extension.
