I'm clicking to open a pdf invoice so I can then print it. The windows box which is headed 

"YOu have chosen to open "

"What should firefox do with this file?" 3 ck box lines 1) Save... 2) Open.... 3) Do this automatically

PROBLEM is this box always keeps popping up. I would like it to open without the box..

I have already tried different options in the Firefox tools and plugins ranging from use Reader32 to open in firefox but the irritating question box keeps popping up!!

Help me get rid of it! Please

Have you got the item for Portable Document Format (PDF) in Applications set to "Always Ask"? You can change that setting.
