Use "Open with" dialog of Operating System
Whenever I right-click a file in Xubuntu and choose to "Open with other application..." the following dialog is presented by the OS:
https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2015-07-29-00-31-36-e5da3e.png
This is nice and I would like Firefox/Thunderbird to behave the same. But if those apps do not have a default application assigned to the MIME type the following dialog is presented:
https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2015-07-29-00-31-45-80c2c1.png
I do not want to add MIME types to FF, I want to change the window/dialog that opens when I choose to open a file with an "Other" application. Is it possible to tell that the default "Open with" dialog of the operating system should be used?
Thanks.
Regards Tim

you might be wrong here - that points to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1129873 which will be fixed in firefox 41 (i haven't read up on all the details there yet though)

hi tim, this is a primarily community-run support forum so it's probably not the right place to request features (we cannot implement any features & devs won't read here). please either use https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for general feedback or if you feel that it's a missing feature in the browser file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.
Well, maybe this thread will become a feature request if it turns out that this cannot be handled configuration wise, but I would suppose first this is not the case.
Oh, ok, just found out this has been filed years ago:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370380
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/18995
So I guess you are right, this is a feature-request and it seems as if there will be not solution to it. Sad but true :-(

Hey cool, you're right. After eight yrs. Lucky I am not using FF on Linux that long yet ;-) Thanks for your effort.
