Bug Description
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
clicking on a .pdf opens a new tab, that tab stays however, empty and the .pdf gets downloaded to the default download location.
Instead chromium should open the pdf in the pdf mime-type handler aka evince.
Changed in chromium-browser (Ubuntu): | |

To post a comment you must log in.
There are a few different bugs in this area:
1) that you can't make downloads open automatically
2) that we don't support Adobe's Reader plugin
3) that we don't support Reader via mozplugger
(Evince doesn't provide a browser plugin, so we're out of luck for using evince for displaying PDFs inline.)
I will link this to the relevant bugs. I believe the third one has been fixed by mozplugger.
