260038 - PDF files loaded as if were HTML

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 229787

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Noam Tamim]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

After installing 1.0PR, I removed all file types associations from the download
options. That included an AcroE* handler for PDFs. I want the normal open/save
dialog even for pdfs.
Now, when I click on PDF links in Firefox, they are opened inline - without
using any plugin.. I get a blank screen, as if nothing was loaded. But viewing
the source shows the truth - the PDF is loaded as if it was an HTML file.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools, Options, Downloads.
2. Remove PDF (and other related, if any) handlers from the list titled "File
Types". Close the window.
3. Search google for "filetype:pdf bugs".
4. Click on of the PDF links.

Actual Results:  
A blank window is shown after the PDF has loaded. View, Page Source will show
the (binary) contents of the PDF.

Expected Results:  
The standard open/save dialog box.
