Why, Firefox on Fedora 19 wants to open all different sort of files of well known types with gedit?
Dunno. Mine doesn't.
It's ridiculous that torrent files, zip and
gz archives and even doc file are suggested to be opened with gedit.
Agreed. Quite a preposterous proposition.
Creating new FF profile doesn't resolve this issue. Is it that hard to recognize file type and open it with correct application?
No, it's not.
Now, you can slaughter me but Firefox on Windows suggests apps correctly so it's more likely Fedora related bug.
Well, maybe, if you call blowing away /usr/share/misc/magic a bug, rather than an accident. That would be one way to end up in a similar situation. I'm sure there are other ways for this to be screwed up, also.
Any way to fix it?
I'm sure there is. But unless you expect someone to hack into your machine, and figure out what your problem is, the only one who can fix this would be you.
