Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
- In ubuntu, open a .doc attachment in gmail
=> the file is stored in /tmp and is opened in read-only
- now print the file
=> the printing process occurs in LO but nothing is sent to the printer
This bug basically means you cannot directly open a file in gmail and print it. You have first to save the file (once you have first found out that this is the problem).
The bug has been reported to LO but apparently this is ubuntu-specific.

This problem happens with two different printers on two different environments so this is probably not printer specific.
I did not notice this bug prior to raring.
Not that this is probably not gmail specific but rather Firefox specific, since firefox download the files in /tmp before opening them.

Upstream marked as Works for me... closing as Fix Released since we don't have that option and we know it is no longer present.
