MTP vs gvfs?

Hello

I installed the proper MTP gvfs backend and now I see phone in nautilus 
and thunar (I'm using XFCE). I can browse device, copy files, etc.

Problem comes when I try to open a photo or another file in a viewer or 
firefox (e.g. to attach file). It just fails without an obvious reason. 
If I copy the file to `/tmp` then I can open but it is stupid that one 
cannot open directly from the phone.

Any ideas what's wrong?

btw it seems google stopped supporting openid 2 auth and now I'm locked 
out of ask.fedoraproject.org
Any idea how to recover my account is welcome as I tried to no avail.

Thank you,
Aleksandar
