Title: No options to open when downloading PDF Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 For some download links that I click with FF, the download dialog incorrectly prevents me from opening the file directly (before saving). Based on some BB thread readings, it seems that this is intended behavior for ".exe" -type files. That is, to prevent certain types of potentially harmful scripts and executables from running on your machine (a security threat). This is appreciated. However, it seems that some files that should/could be opened directly without threat are incorrectly forcing me to save first. Reproduce: 1. Go to this page: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=636661 2. Click "Download" to show locations 3. Click the Stanford Law School link ( http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Delivery.cfm/SSRN_ID636661_code355382.pdf?abstractid=636661&mirid=5 ) 4. Wait for the FF dialog to show up (see attached png) 5. BUG: The dialog only allows me to Save or Cancel a "PDF document". EXPECTED: The action specified for PDF documents I have set up in Edit-->Preferences-->Applications should commence (in my case, opening it directly).
