Firefox Download Action Blank Fix

So I came across this wonderful problem earlier, and it took more searching than I like to find a fix. So here it is for anyone else who has the problem.

Problem: Clicking "view & edit actions" in firefox to set file download actions results in an empty window with no possibility of changing anything

Solution: Taken from: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308204

replaced the blanks in all installation paths of the mimetypes.rdf (located in your profile directory)
C:\Program Files\...) by an underscore : (C:\Program_Files\...) and it works
now perfectly...

So..replace all the blanks on the path= part and all works fine after a restart of firefox. Why? heck if I know, it just works!
