Since upgrading to fc5 firefox won't show pdf docs. I can save the doc and open it in acroread, evince, etc.

When firefox tries to to show a pdf file I get an error window:

Unable to open document

Unhandled MIME type: 'application/octet-stream'

Hi,

Maybe you can try Firefox extension PDF Download , which helps a lot,

Philippe


Tried that.

If I click on a pdf doc, I get 3 choices:

Download It       Open PDF   Open as HTML

Download It is the same as right click-> Save Link As

Open as HTML is useful

But Open PDF doesn't work, which is what I want. It doesn't give an error message, but I assume it's the same problem
