Hello,

just switched from Opera to Firefox and - with the help of some add-ons - feel pretty satisfied already.

One annoying problem though: While many pdf-files will open properly with PDF-XChange Viewer plugin within the browser, there are many websites with links to pdf files where the setting "Use PDF-XChange Viewer (within Firefox)" prompts Firefox to download the file instead.

Examples:

http://www.visitbritainshop.com/nordics/travel-transport/london-transport.html The map of London Transport (link in the middle of the site) will open within the browser

http://search.knightfrank.co.uk/ngh140118 The floorplan or the brochure won't open within the browser but be downloaded instead

I've never experienced this (in Opera) before.

What could be the reason for that? And is there a way to change it?

Thanks in advance!

While trying to find a solution for that issue, I stumbled across a post that describes a similar problem with jpegs: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/979919

One reply suggests: "Are you sure that these images are send with a proper MIME type for images and not with a generic MIME type that makes Firefox show the "Open with" dialog? "

The suggested solution, an extension called Open-in-Browser https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-in-browser/ works fine regarding the pdfs in question, and is acceptable for me, although I agree with the poster from above, that " it is a bug that should be fixed instead of relying on an extension".
