Bug Description

With LibreOffice 3.4.3 for Ubuntu Oneiric, LibreOffice is launched without being requested to do so when browsing using Firefox or reading e-mail with Thunderbird. The problem goes away if the package mozilla-libreoffice is removed.

I kind of "solved" this problem by uninstalling LibreOffice (including the plugin package), creating a new Firefox Profile (deleting the old one) and reinstalling LO (including plugin package). This worked for me so far - although this is no real solution.

The same thing happens to me (oneiric and FF8) Almost always, when I close FF Libre Office starts. It is not a "very big issue" (just close Libre Office) but it is meaning that there is something wrong in my system. I would appreciate a real correction of this wrong behaviour, thank you
