Greetings,

I'm using this firefox 3.0.1 build from releases.mozilla.org:
        firefox-3.0.1.en-US-solaris-10-fcs-i386-pkg

When I view a PDF file, firefox ignores my preferred viewer (as
set in Edit -> Preferences -> Applications) and instead invokes
the gpdf viewer.  I prefer to use "evince", and prior to trying
firefox-3.0 and 3.0.1, firefox 2.0 of various revs did as directed.

Running firefox3 under truss seems to indicate that it's searching
my PATH for the first of these executables:
        acroread, gpdf, xpdf, gv

It then ends up exec-ing /usr/bin/gpdf, which is the first of
the above that it found on my system (Solaris-10U5).  Any suggestions
on how to get it to pay attention to the Preferences setting?

Thanks and regards,

Marion
