This behaviour is quite annoying. It is also true for, e.g., Excel Files. I noticed, that it occurs whenever the file is to be downloaded via a script.
here is an excample URL (taken from my local otrs installation) http://127.0.0.1/otrs/index.pl/MITGLIED.XLS?Action=AgentTicketAttachment;ArticleID=11;FileID=3 The download dilog only offers me to open in gedit or save to disk. The default action for application/ms-excel is "open with libreoffice calc" but in this case it is ignored. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/918019 Title: Firefox does not use default application to open PDF files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/918019/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
