Selecting a download option other than the default causes a browser crash.
Whenever I select an application besides the two listed in the "Open With" list of the Download dialog (see image for clarification), Firefox crashes. This happens with various types of media and various applications.

I don't understand what you mean by "mark" them, but here are the numbers:

I upgraded to Firefox 48.0 today and this happened again after the upgrade.
I don't know Linux. I've called for more help.
I've now refreshed Firefox and still have this problem. I have version 50.1.0 now (latest stable version).
I've found that if I keep selecting the application I want (and allowing Firefox to crash again and again), the application eventually becomes the default choice.
