Moin moin=20

This has been annyoing me for years now. I use firefox as Browsre in KDE
Plasma.

Firefox consistently uses wrong applications to open files. I can configure
them in firefox settings dialog; say "pdf -> okular", "xls->libreoffice". I
can, but it just has no effect.

Assuming the last opened file from firefox used 'libreoffice', the next time
any download will just suggest to use "libreoffice". No matter its type.
Assuming it was a PDF, I silently curse, and chose "okular" from the dropdo=
wn.
Great. Now firefox just assumes I want to open all the following files in
okular.


I have this behaviour on all my systems, FreeBSD 12/13, FF up to date.
