In download dialog next to the "open with" should be a drop down menu that lets you choose a default or previously used application to open downloaded file. I only see a browse button. Defult app is never shown nor is last selection. Firefox remembers last selection though. If I choose kpdf to open a pdf file, next time when I try to download pdf it is enough to click ok and kpdf will be used. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I'm not sure if thats relevant but I didnot emerge gnome. I'm using Xfce. I tried and compiled firefox with gnome flag but that didn't help.
Ok I did: emerge gnome And now it works fine. I finaly see this dropdown menu. As a side effect I have now default options. But installing lots of stuff that I wont use (like evolution, mozilla, totem and so on) is not the way I want it :(
Closing, not a bug.
