Here is what you can do. I wish Mozilla would fix this. Go to
about:config in firefox.
Change the configuration Of:
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions from true to false by
clicking on it.
Then: Preferences--> Content--> File Types--> Manage  
will display which programs handle which file types.
