Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.4-2sarge2
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When I click on a URL pointing to a file, the
What-do-you-want-to-do-with-this-file dialog opens during first session
only.
For instance if I click on
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/reference.en.pdf,
the What-do-you-want-to-do-with-this-file dialog opens and I can chose
to view the target file with a pdf-viewer (ex: /usr/sbin/xpdf) or I can
chose to download it.
If I close mozilla-firefox and open it again, the box will no more
appear. In my previous example clicking on
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/reference.en.pdf will do
nothing, the link looks like a dead link.
To have the What-do-you-want-to-do-with-this-file dialog working again,
I have to do: # dpkg-reconfigure mozilla-firefox.
Apart from dpkg-reconfiguring mozilla-firefox before launching a new
mozilla-firefox session, the only way to avoid dead links is to select
the option "always use the application" (for instance always use
"/usr/bin/xpdf" to open pdf files).
I did not have this problem with 1.0.4-2sarge1 and previous versions.
"pdf" is an example, I met similar problems with other types of files
like tar.gz, tar.bz2. However I tested only a limited number of
mime-types before downgrading to 1.0.4-2sarge1.
