I seem to recall that the open-url thing is sort of the ultimate
fallback, would sort of expect a few desktop-specific things to be tried
first, e.g. gnome-open-url, kde-open-url, xdg-open. I see you added
firefox, so problem gone, but I wonder what desktop environment you were
using, xfce or something like that ?

hmm, this defaults to "none" here, I would expect it to default to
"system". One can ./soffice http://somelocation/thing.odt and it "should
work", so not crazy.

I think we discussed already that we can/should remove these (and their
help docs too), they seem rather less that useful, and horribly out of
date anyway. In fact, I don't see them here on a master one, so I think
we already removed those.

We do have a browser plugin for firefox/etc. which shows .odt etc
documents inline in firefox, so that toggle really does something :-)
