Hi,

Everytime I want to open a PDF file, Firefox asks me 'What should Firefox do with this file'. I have Open WIth Adobe Reader (default) selected and I have the 'Do this automatically...' box checked.

So it seems to me that Firefox should not ask me every time.

Hi - I don't want it to always ask; I want it to never ask.

Having said that, I changed my option setting to 'always ask' and the next time I tried to open a PDF document, the dialog box opened asking me what to do. The 'Do this automatically...' box was unchecked as expected.

I checked the 'Do this automatically...' box and now Firefox no longer asks.

Weird way to solve the problem, but it appears to work fine now. Thanks
