@ktulu77 :
I have forgotten the MarkMail URL in my previous post: http://markmail.org/message/mcarb3i4gg5hcvm3#query:+page:1+mid:qxaeqv22o3pkzgvx+state:results.

On Nautilus 2.26.2, on Jaunty, I don't have the two tabs. Strange.

You will not be happy, because you're right. First, the freedesktop project doesn't provide (yet?) a dialog for 'Open with'. Second, the 'Open with' dialog is hardwired in Nautilus and could not easily be extracted. The native 'Open with' dialog from a Firefox extension seems then to be a harsh part.

About xdg-open, I don't understand the benefit of that compared to the existing code. When you download a type of file from Firefox that you have never open yet, it already automatically proposes, in the dropdown list 'Open with', the associated system application. What the use of this patch with xdg-open in this case because it seems the function is already here?
