[Bug 38680] New: Cannot open http links with native Firefox on PowerPoint 2010

Bug ID: 38680
           Summary: Cannot open http links with native Firefox on
                    PowerPoint 2010
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.6.2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

When there is an hyperlink in any slide in PowerPoint 2010 and the user clicks
on it, it opens in winebrowser always.

According to http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys, the default behavior
should be opening with xdg-open, which in my setup should default to firefox.

So it seems that either this is a bug in wine or in the wiki.

I tried solution in
http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-make-wine-open-links-in-your.html and
nothing changes.

I tried symlinking iexplore.exe and winebrowser.exe to /usr/bin/firefox but the
behavior still remains the same.

Confirming; this also affects Powerpoint 2007, and is still present in 1.7.44.

Note this does not affect Word or Excel--hyperlinks in their files open in
native Firefox (the default browser on my system) without any registry tweaks
needed.

I cannot link the bug to the AppDB, but would be good if anyone can do it too.
