2001010517 i have acrobat reader spawning as helper app, and for pdf-files downloaded via web this works just fine. However: attempting to open a pdf file from local disk will only render it in browser, displaying garbage of course. Expected: acrobat reader to open the file instead. Dont know whether this is a networking or mime bug.
well, i guess it depends. the easiest solution is for file: to return a mimetype based on the os magic system. however, i hope this is a dupe.

I just tested this again with a current CVS build, Linux: pdf files loaded from local disk now prompts how i should open (or even save to file). Acrobat reader is configured as helper now as before, and comes up as default action. I've explicitly set prefs to prompt before opening. So behaviour now seems to be the correct one. Obviously got fixed along the road. Resolving as "works for me".

reporter: This bug is a "futured" or "untargeted" bug which has been "resolved/works for me". Most bugs meeting this criteria are usually somewhat out of date or working in the current builds. If this bug is not happening for you in a recent build (such as the Mozilla daily build, Mozilla 0.9.3, or Netscape 6.1), please use the friendly "Mark bugs as VERIFIED" radio button to set this bug to "VERIFIED/WORKS FOR ME" If you reported the bug on a platform (e.g. Linux) and other contributors reported on another platform (e.g. Mac OS), please comment that it works for you but do not verify it yet. For these multi-platform bug reports, we need to verify all reported platforms -OR- create new "still broken on platform X" bugs when you verify.
verified too, then. It still works just fine.
