Re: Firefox and PDF

Hi All,

My Firefox browser does not handle pdf correctly. When I click on a pdf
link, the browser downloads it - but does not pass it off to a pdf plugin
or application. I looked but did not find a "file association" in the
preferences.

How do I get Firefox to cooperate in handing off pdf's to a compatible
viewer?




Do a search in Yast for Dragonegg, if it is installed, uninstall it,
that may fix your problem.
