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'"

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:

Hmm, looks like bugzilla has a bug. Now when I click on the above links, I get the following error message.

Software error:

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (bugzilla-owner@xxxxxxxxxx), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Is it just me, or are others having the same difficulty?
