Package: iceweasel
Version: 7.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=613752 I
want to suggest to add an "open with" entry to the context menu of the
download history.
currently clicking on a link to a pdf file, firefox/iceweasel asks me
what to do (save / open with...). Usually I want to do both - store the
pdf somewhere in a non-temp directory and open it. This leads me to
choose "save", the file is downloaded, the download history pops up,
where I can click on the downloaded file to open it. However being
affected by the aforementioned bug, the pdf is not opened with an
appropriate application. Unfortunately in the download history I only
have the choices "open" and "open containing folder" (among others).
>From a regular file browser I can choose the appropriate pdf viewer but
end up with dozens of open file browser instances.
Therefore my suggestion is to make the application choice not only
available from the website link but also from the download history.
I also filed this bug as:

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
