--- Comment #1 from Chris Hutchinson <portmaster at bsdforge.com> ---
I can confirm that this is also true in GTK based
DEs as well. It appears that FF will only use, or
offer to use applications chosen by the DE for
"preferred" applications to deal with content.
While FF indicated you can "make this change permanent"
in FF "preferences". It has little, if any effect.
As a result, I'm forced to right-click > save-as
in FF, to ever open content with my *chosen* application.
