When I click on the file foo.abw in the Desktop I would expect the abiword application to start with foo.abw open.  But actually firefox opens with two tabs and two dialog boxes, both of which state:

You have chosen to open

foo.abw
which is an AbiWord document (10.0 KB)
from /home/jonrysh/desktop

What should Firefox do with this file?

O Open with AbiWord (default)
O ...

The preferences in System Settings->File Associations all look OK.  Clicking on any other file in the Desktop works OK.  What's going on?
System is Fedora17 with KDE 4.8.4.

Thanks - jon

Hi Jon:

Either type $abiword foo.abw at the command line or open abiword and chose file/open; the manner in which you are doing it above will not work. This is not MS Windows.
