In Windows XP, SM 2.10.1, it's Show Folder, and it works as expected.



Sorry. Bad terminology on my part.


Yes, Chris, but there is still a difference between Win (Show Folder) 
and Linux (Open Directory).

The maintainer for Ubuntu hasn't created the package yet, would be mine.
Ask Ubuntu.

I install manually on openSUSE, because their package maintainer takes
his time. Had to wait 2 weeks for Firefox 13.0, never saw 13.0.1, and 1
week for Firefox 14.0.1.

Still no Thunderbird 14.0, or SeaMonkey 2.11 available.

If and when they become available, I may or may not install through the
software management application.

 That action is set in Adobe Reader.  You don't say what version you

same operating system and the identical version of SM

Acrobat has the same preference settings as Reader; my problem is not
there, as my preference is already set to display PDF in browser.

It also has nothing to do with email settings for attached files; my
problem is PDFs opened from web links.

I've followed other advice offered in this NG but I've never figured

It was your response which woke me up.  I clearly remembered the option

Thanks everyone for the responses to my original post on this subject. I 
was not aware of the Edit, Preferences, Browser, Helper Applications 
page; my XP computer, in helper applications, was set to Use Adobe 
Acrobat (in SeaMonkey) and that is what it did. I changed it to Use 
Adobe Reader (default) and it changed, instantly. Bravo! This is what I 
wanted, thanks for the suggestion. I'm a happy camper on this issue.

In resolving my issue, I found a problem with the Win7 64-bit computer.
The W7 computer, in helper applications, was set to Always Ask but it 
didn't ask, it always uses Adobe Reader. I tried Use Adobe Acrobat (in 
SeaMonkey), no luck. Shutting SeaMonkey down didn't help. This isn't a 
problem for me, as I prefer to use Adobe Reader.

The issue still exists, however, with the W7 computer; why won't it 
change to Use Adobe Acrobat (in SeaMonkey)? Is it perhaps because it 
is 64-bit? I suggest that the development team needs to resolve this, 
but not for me, because I am happy with using Adobe Reader on both 
computers.

Certainly an interesting issue.

Not quite so simple, but close.

After installing both programs, the user can go into the Windows file 
type options and set either one as the default for handling PDFs, and 
that setting will overrule the order of installation.


But in the most common scenario, where the user doesn't take this 
explicit action, you're right. Whichever one you install last will take 
over by setting itself as the default handler for PDFs (unless, of 
course, the advanced user deselects that option during installation).


When I had both installed, I had some really quirky behavior, and when I 
ditched the Reader, things quieted down. Good advice.
