Right, except that he didn't state "any other browser", but IE :) I'll test some stuff here, to see if I can reproduce it. What I meant to say was that the mime-type is an important way for compliant browser to know what to do with a file. I suspect that something strange is going on. Either the mime-type is correct but the client (Firefox) is configured wrong, or the mime-type is incorrect confuses the client.
However, when I put a pdf in my shared folder on a 7.0.1 Mid-Tier, running on Tomcat 5.20 it just works. Brian, what's your config?
