    When you try to open a file that has no associated program, you 
should get a requester asking what you want Firebird to do.  There is a 
"suggested" box (often gedit or such) pre-highlighted and a place for 
you to pick the application, via standard file-chooser.  Also a checkbox 
to make the action you choose, default for all files of the same mimetype.
    Once selected as the program you want to use, it will show up in the 
Plug-ins area you described.
