[Bug 1400982] Re: PDF Preview in Firefox not honored for specific URL
As mentioned upstream, servers can choose not to let a browser client render a file, but force a download. That does not mean Firefox has a bug. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400982 Title: PDF Preview in Firefox not honored for specific URL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1400982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Loic, thank you for your comment. Reviewing the official Mozilla documentation regarding this issue, it doesn't mention anything about how some websites force downloading a PDF file, which preempts the users choice regarding PDFs. Hence, would this article want to be updated with the information you advised to? As well, would you be able to detail what server side would force this (ex. I looked at the source of the page and noticed code xyz that infers/proves this)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400982 Title: PDF Preview in Firefox not honored for specific URL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1400982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The URL is served as application/octet-stream and not as application/pdf.

Matthias Versen, thank you for the clarification. This is now documented in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firefox , and submitted for inclusion into the official Mozilla documentation as per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/set-how-firefox-handles-different- file-types/revision/84202 .
