Bug#490665: Fixed my problems

I had the same issue and following steps fixed my problem:

1. I had to install xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support

2. change MimeType entry in /usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop
	from
		MimeType=inode/directory;
	to:
		MimeType=inode/directory;x-directory/normal;

3. run 'update-desktop-database' as root (which re-builds 
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache)

4. restart firefox



Fixes needed in packages:

* add 1.: I can confirm that if I removed 'xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' it did 
not work anymore. Iceweasel kept starting Okular instead of Dolphin, even if 
the mimeinfo.cache contained the Dolphin entry.

This means the package dependencies should be adjusted to do something similar 
than the pseudo-code below:

if "KDE + Iceweasel installed"
	install xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support

* the dolphin.desktop file (package 'dolphin') needs a change (assuming this is 
the right fix)

kind regards
Max
