Well admittedly I don't use GNOME but imho the preferred way to do this
is to add the following lines to your
~/.mozilla-firefox/$profiledir/prefs.js:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");

Uhhm, I don't see that behavior here. Could you guys explain exactly
what the specific situation was, or doesn't it matter what type of file
it is?
When I want to save an attachment tb opens a normal save-window like any
other kde app does so I guess it uses the underlying toolkit of the
desktop environment in place, so it probably should be using a gtk-based
~ save-window. I'm not a wizard when it comes to the specifics though
which you can probably guess from my wording =)
