Details

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) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 19118 ***
