It's probably passing the pdf off to kde and things aren't always working. Seems like I researched this before and I think you can delete/rename your mimeTypes.rdf file to fix some of the problems. but YMMV. Right now, when I go to the mime/helper apps in the preferences all the buttons are greyed out. I can't set anything within ff to handle file types with that interface. - -- JT Morée PC Xperience, Inc. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFFgZL1JwGi/ukQqERAvl7AJ9k50Qg3VMSh0UJlDVpkeBslck/JgCgwrDF phMVrIvxi5H4zrTIG6DfhSQ= =zT3m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
