Go to: about:config
in the browser, Then change the value of the config parameter:
browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions
from true to false.
This will allow you to go to: Edit->preferences->Content
Then in box called File types click on Manage.
I use firefox 1.5.0.12 and I don't see this "File Types" box. Do I
need an extension to get it?
There you will see a list of what application handles which extension
type. This can now be changed. This hidden feature of firefox is
helpful
in situations such as yours.

Ciao, Erik.
I don't think it is called File types in that version. But there is a
manage
tab that you can click on near the lower right of of the Contents
window.
I checked again, and I don't see this "Manage" button on the content
window. However, I found it on firefox 2.0.0.4, so I assume it's a
version 2 feature only.
Ok, I have installed the plugin and ensured that it shows up in
about:plugins, but for some reason, clicking on a PDF document causes
the browser to bring up a download save/open-with dialog!
The file types -> manage dialog shows me the behavior of various file
types, but all of them do not have a file extension defined.
Anymore pointers?
thanks,
Rogue
p.s.:
The file that I am trying to load is a OOo -> PDF document -> Uploaded
onto the web. http://roguexz.googlepages.com/HarshaRamesh.pdf
I do not think that it is an issue with the document per se, or is it?
