Over in m.general, there's a thread called "Re: OT: Let US Spin Off to
Another 2nd Amendment Debate, Shall We?" in which Ed Mullen has posted a
link to a PDF and I clicked on it, expecting it to open in a PDF tab in
SM browser.

In SM Prefs->Browser->Helper Applications, The three Adobe Acrobat  file
types are set tho use Adobe Acrobat, but I don't have Adobe Acrobat
installed!

I do have the FF extension PDF Viewer 0.8.1, which says it "Uses HTML5
to display PDF files directly in FireFox". O.K., I know SM is not FF,
but I think I got the extension from the SM extensions site, so should
this mean SM should use this extension to display a PDF in a browser
tab/screen??

When I clicked on the Adobe Acrobat in the Helper Applications, I can
select another program to re-place AA, but I cannot tell SM to use the
Extension.

Is there some other setting that I should be adjusting?? Or am I stuck??


Just tested, and PDF Viewer displays the PDF I tested just fine in SM
2.17.1.

Never having installed Adobe, I don't have anything listed in Helper
Applications for PDF's.

It doesn't even show the Firefox setting of Portable Document Format
(PDF) Preview in Firefox, which should be Preview in SeaMonkey for this
case. Strange.

Try a new profile.

O.K., then if it works for you, Walt, I'll have to try to get rid of the
Helper Application listing of Adobe then!!

Thanks for checking.


Edit - Preferences - Browser - Helper Applications

No need for about:config


Like I mentioned Ed. I have nothing in Helper Applications for Portable Document Format (PDF), and the extension works just fine.

I also don't see a way to delete a Content Type from Helper Applications.

I still think he should try a new profile.
