Comment 87 for bug 18995

Michael Ventnor : You are on the root of this problem :
* Does Firefox really needs to have its own application pref ? Is this not the job of a desktop environment ?

  With this patch, one can also unifiy the open with/save dialog box. Instead of having "open with" vs "save file", one can make "open file/save file" which seems more consistent and unified with other "file openers" like konqueror, dolphin, nautilus, internet explorer, etc.
  Why Firefox should ask its user which software to use ? This is confusing and complicates lifes of both users, developers and packagers.

  I can make this patch cross-platform, with some #ifndef WIN32 or something similar. But is there a Firefox developer ready to apply this kind of patch ?
