[SATLUG] predefined helper application

[John Pappas]

This would be filed as a Linoyance:

GNOME's App associations: use nautilus: Right click on a file with the
appropo extension, choose Properties.  Under the Open With tab, you can
control both the default App as well as ancillary Apps.

KDE: KDE Control Center | KDE Components | File Associations.

Once both of those are checked, see what Firefox thinks for
associations.  If still incorrect, then Edit/Preferences | Downloads
context | View & Edit Actions.  Find the Extension you want to edit,
then change the action.  If the file type does not exist in the first
place, then find a link to a file of the appropo type, and prompt to
determine action should pop up.  Pick the always do this checkbox and
then go through the above to edit it.

Let me know if this helps!
