firefox-1.0.5-alt1.cvs After the installation of new firefox, handling files with special types (say, pdf) does not work any more -- on the second invokation of firefox by a user. There is no reaction if a link to such a file is clicked or if it is typed into the URL field. Steps to Reproduce: 0. (remove firefox and firfox personal configuration for a clean experiment) 1. apt-get install firefox 2. firefox a.pdf 3. firefox a.pdf Actual Results: 2. the first time it suggests to open a.pdf with xpdf or save it. 3. the second time -- no reaction. Expected Results: it should suggest to call an external program or save it to disk. But no menu appears.
This is firefox bug 298478 and it affects more than just pdf downloads. I can confirm that the bug is fixed in the 20050711 firefox build. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298478
Looks like firefox-1.0.5-alt2.cvs includes the fix for mozilla/firefox bug 298478.
firefox-1.0.5-alt2.cvs works fine.
