Tested with Beta 4

pdf still unable to open in midbrowser. Instead, pdf files will be saved (downloaded) to local drive. However, no application can open the pdf file.

Hi.

I just tested in my Xephyr environment (updated today) and it's working fine. No dialogs show up and evince is directly embedded into midbrowser's area I tested opening a local file and another directly from the internet as can be seem in the attached screenshots.

It is possible that the link they are clicking on is not correctly identifying the file as a PDF file and the browser does not know what to do with it. If the file is a valid pdf file and you tell the browser to open the file with evince it should correctly display the file.

I just confirmed that this issue is fixed in the 8.04 Menlow release on the crownbeach.
