Agreed with Elfy, this is better in the
user group.
Having said that, I think PDF files on the Web can have different
mime types, some of which are somewhat odd and cause this
behavior. IN my case, 98% of all PDF's open inline in the browser
but a few give me the dialog box.
It's gotta be some mime type that firefox doesn't know about, so
it asks.

Hi
I am having trouble with file associations on xubuntu 14.04
if I go to this page
http://www.oldwayschool.co.uk/page/?title=Community+activities&pid=86
click on the link to the pdf link it tries to open it in scratch
by default
I had some help in #xubuntu, so know how to open it in evince
manually,
however I want to try and find out why this is happening (tried
this on
13.10 on netbook and it's fine) and see if there is actually an
issue
somewhere.
I have put a work around on my block at:
http://zleap.net/xubuntu-14-04-file-association/
I am guessing it is either a software problem or maybe a problem
with
the schools website in which case I can let then know about it
so it can
be hopefully fixed by their IT technician. It seems odd that
this
happens despite pdf files being bound to document viewer in the
browsers
settings.
would it be possible to try clicking the link and see what
happens
please , It could just be my set up, if other people try it it
could
suggest a wider issue if there is a problem.
thanks
Paul
I get asked if I want to save the file and it's opening as a PDF.
The best place for this discussion though is the users list not
this one :)
