Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I just downloaded a pdf with Firefox, and when the download finished, it
complained that it could not find the correct helper application. I
think the multiple dots confused Firefox; the filename is

/tmp/0025570x.di021222.02p0075s.pdf

(I was downloading it from
http://mathdl.maa.org/mathDL/22/?pa=content&sa=viewDocument&nodeId=1427)

I manually opened the pdf in Evince and it works fine; the file is a
perfectly valid pdf. Firefox (or perhaps some Gnome handler?) didn't
recognize it as such.

This is with an up-to-date Intrepid amd64 system. I have Firefox version
3.0.4+nobinonly right now. In Firefox, for PDF documents I have it set
to "Use Document Viewer (default)".
