Description of problem: After system install all works fine, and firefox opens files using the proper programs. After installing some programs, file associations in firefox gone wrong although in KDE this file associations configured properly. For example, after installing wine, firefox opens *.h files in notepad instead of KWrite. After installing qmmp mediaplayer, it is used for opening directories instead of dolphin. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 10.0.5-1.mga2
Same problem over here. When I install Wine, the images are opened by Wine Internet Explorer.

IIRC Wine modifies ~/.mailcap, which is used by Firefox. Suggest going to about:config in Firefox and changing ~/.mailcap to ~/.mailcap.dontuse. Maybe then it will look at the real file associations again.

I changed ~/.mailcap to ~/.mailcap.dontuse and that did not solved the problem.
I can confirm that firefox's handling of file associations is not always sensible. Upstream bug I guess.
