Please bottom-post in this forum, thanks.
A couple of thoughts. But first, I assume what you mean by "download" is
"save the file to my disk." Because if you're viewing it on your
computer, you've already downloaded (received) it. You just don't know
where SeaMonkey is holding it -- in memory, a temp file, whatever.
1) If you're happy with PDFs opening in SeaMonkey but want the option of
saving them to disk, you already have it. With the file open in SM, just
do File | Save As... and go from there. You'll note that the file type
is already set to Adobe Acrobat (version number), so you don't need to
worry about the file getting corrupted or anything.
2) If you want PDFs to trigger an offer to save to disk, check your
settings under Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications. There
will probably be several PDF file types because PDFs are served with
several MIME types. Change the setting(s) to "Always Ask." Then
SeaMonkey will ask for a decision each time. I find this a bit of a
bother, YMMV.
One other terminology note: "reload" doesn't mean the same as
"reinstall." "Load" and "reload" just mean "read (a file or program) off
a disk into working memory." What you did was probably reinstall the
program.
Yes, I have done that (always ask) but the file is never saved to disk.
That is the problem.
Don't you get a prompt for a decision?
