Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-4
Severity: important
After upgrading to firefox 1.5, my application helper setting for PDF files does
not work anymore. I have the mozilla-acroread plugin installed, and set the
behavior for PDF files to use that plugin a while ago, but I am asked
nonetheless
what to do every time that I want to open a PDF file.
Hence, I re-installed mozilla-acroread with no luck, and ended up purging it.
Still no luck. I removed the setting which prompts me to select a behavior for
PDF files. When doing so, the entry re-appears in the preferences -- but is
ignored no matter what I do.
