Sorry this bug shouldn't have expired as the required information was
provided.
Manfred, in your handlers.json the action for application/pdf is 2,
which corresponds to "Always Ask". Is it not what happens when you open
a PDF file from within firefox? Or is it that the behaviour differs when
it is a local file vs a distant resource?
