Again, you should verify that the mime-type that is sent is the correct one. One option would be to install the firebug extension to see what is being sent to the browser. If the mime-type is incorrect (for example text/plain), Firefox will just open it as text, like most other browsers. "IE works" because it sees ".pdf" and knows how top open pdf on your PC, no matter what mime-type your web browser is sending.
It could be that the mime-type config must be done at some other place, like your web server. Hugo On 11/2/07, Sokol, Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not true.
