Public bug reported:

Setting: vanilla Natty installation, Firefox 4 and the Adobe PDF plugin
from Adobe Reader 9.

Instead of trigerring the PDF plugin and displaying the PDF within the
browser, a dialog appears asking how to handle the file.

To reproduce go to 
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.110.6657&rank=1

If you click the PDF button unter "cached", the PDF is not loaded within the 
browser.
If you however click, for example the second link under "Downloads" everything 
works as should.

This seems to be a problem with several journal sites.

behaviour is the same when using mozplugger + evince instead of the
Adobe PDF plugin, or using the Adobe Reader 8 plugin.

It seems to be related to how Firefox 4 handles file downloads.
