It doesn't happen with galeon (2.0.2-4ubuntu1). I tried konqueror, but nautilus-cd-burner doesn't appears as a choice, and none of the available alternatives have an Exec-line (in their .desktop file) where "%f" should be replace by the filename. Haven't tried epiphany.

The bug can be reproduced on ubuntu just as in the Fedora bug. To make sure www.cendio.com was not the problem, I also tried downloading a debian businesscard ISO, getting the same behaviour. So, in detail, here's another way to reproduce:

1. Start firefox.

2. Visit http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r0/i386/iso-cd/

3. Click on debian-40r0-i386-businesscard.iso

4. Select "open with", "nautilus-cd-burner"

5. Click OK.

6. Download file and then notice the error message from nautilus-cd-burner - "unable to create CD/DVD - no files were selected".

7. In the process list (ps -ef), notice that nautilus-cd-burner is run without the --source-iso argument. It should get an --source-iso argument if firefox parsed the .desktop file correctly.

Please note that nautilus-cd-burner is just an example application used to trigger the behaviour. Any helper application that requires an option to accept a filename will fail with firefox.
