[Bug 1481222] [NEW] Firefox does not respect the application preference order for opening files from the downloads library

 

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce

- Check a file association. For example 'pdf'.
  kcmshell5 filetypes
  Application Preference Order is:
    1. Okular
    2. Karbon
    3. ImageMagick (display Q16)
    4. ImageMagick (display Q16)

- Use Firefox to download a pdf file. Firefox preferences for PDF are set to 'always ask'.
- Open the Firefox library at Downloads (down arrow -> Show All Downloads) and double click the downloaded PDF file.
- Chances are it will open using Karbon instead of the expected Okular

Likewise, clicking the folder icon next to the downloaded file will not
use Dolphin, but Gwenview and .zip files will not be opened with Ark,
but with Gwenview, or something else.
