My recollection is that even if you uncheck Display PDF in Browser in Acrobat, the plug-in will nevertheless interfere with what happens when a PDF link is clicked. On Seamonkey 2 I guess we will be able to just disable the plug-in. Getting rid of it in Seamonkey 1.x isn't so easy. You have to disable plug-in scanning _and_ make sure the DLL is removed from the install directory: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Adobe_Reader#Disabling_the_browser_plugin -dbm I just noticed this thread because I was looking to see if anyone else had this problem, although a simple 'does not work' is incorrect. How to do it. 1 - Save Link Target As (you can do several of them if you have several to do) 2 - Go to the 'download manager' and stop all downloads which have not actually started 3 - you now get the option to restart them. Do so. Problem solved. If this was a plugin problem then I have a problem with my html plugin :-) btw, Linux, currently running 2.0.1 under Opensuse 11.2 although this problem started under 2.0.0 and Opensuse 11.1. This applies to both the 32 and 64-bit versions. I am also fairly certain that I have this behaviour on my XP machine, assume that it always has the current SM version loaded. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
