[William Griffin]

Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and Java dated 9/5/2003 (Java 1.4.1 Plugin settings)
- Open Firefox 2.0.06
- Preferences/Content/Manage

There is no provision for PDF

Go to any website and try to download a PDF file.  Download returns msg "...could not be opened because the associated helper does not exist..."
