Comment (by Jesse V.):

 This is not a problem in Linux Mint 17.1 under Cinnamon at least, so
 you're right that it only applies to those desktop environments. In my
 system, I am prompted what to do with an executable text file, and one of
 the options is to Run it. When this is selected, the browser opens.
