Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I selected (by accident) "do this always from now on" when saving a PDF to disk.
SInce then, I got no longer have evince open my PDF automatically.
Going to Edit/preferences/Applications (or Content) offered no solution.

In the end, I had to hand-edit a file in .mozilla/firefox to get rid of the no-questions asked, always save to disk behaviour that Firefox exhibitted.

Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04

version 3.0~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

I'm having a similar issue, but I never chose "always perform this action" and deleting the .mozilla directory doesn't bring the option back to choose which application to open the pdf with.

is this still a problem with the latest ffox 3? If so, this is best dealt upstream as its not a ubuntu specific issue. Please search in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org to ensure that your bug isn't filed; then open a bug in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org and post your bug id (or the one you found matching your issue) here.
