Title:
  Firefox first suggestion is to open a *.bin file with gedit

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  When you download software in the form of a *.bin file—e.g. Google
  Earth from http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/—in the download
  dialogue of Firefox opening the *.bin file with gedit is selected by
  default.

  However, this is software, not something you would like to open in a
  text editor. In order to not make users end up with Gedit filling
  their screen with error messages or a huge amount of characters, I
  would make Firefox select Save As by default.
