146092 - Mozilla RC2 ignores Acrobat pref AND Windows pref

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 19118

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Jack Tanner]

This is using build 2002051006 (a.k.a. RC2)

Clicking on a link to a PDF opens the PDF in the in-browser plug-in. However, in
my installation of Acrobat (ver 5.05 full, not Reader), I have unchecked
"Display PDF in Browser" (under Preferences/General/Options). Also, in W2K file
types, PDF is configured to "Confirm open after download" -- that preference is
also ignored.

IE 6 obeys the preferences correctly.

Expected behavior: I should get a dialogue asking whether to open or save the
file, and opening the file should open it according to my preferences -- in
Acrobat, not in the browser.

Opening a PDF attachment in Mail should also work the same way. I imagine this
is related to bug 76416.

A workaround is removing the plugin and only having the app defined as helper.
If acrobat plugin exists, it for now overrules using it as a helper app.
Resolving as dup of bug 19118 (by way of dup bug 144372)
