Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the reply.
you're welcome.
When I click on a link to a .pdf file I get a "Unable to open document
Unhandled MIME type: 'application/octet-stream'"
Does this happen for every PDF or just some?
As far as I can tell, it happens to every pdf.
If you click Edit -> Preferences -> Downloads -> View Actions, is PDF
listed? What does it say it will do in that case?
The only thing enabled is the "Open download manager"
Do you have evince or Acrobat Reader plugin installed? Do you have
mozplugger installed? Is this a 64-bit or 32-bit system?
No, Acrobat is not installed. Neither is mozplugger. This is a 32-bit
system.
and right-click, save link as... ?
if that works, you may wish to save all PDFs locally and open them
manually. That can be configured in
Edit->Preferences->Downloads->View And Edit Actions...
you can get it to save all these types of file automatically.
I am very new to mozilla/firefox so we may be talking very elementary
issues here.
perhaps. Is this an x86_64 system? I have seen quite a few references to
problems like this via google.
oh and this looks like it might even be a bug:
