[Bug 110362] Re: Opening File prompts "Save File As" Control window

[robertgray]

Thanks, John:

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.3; and downloaded the PDF download Plugin
recently.  My system still prompts to "save" the document, even with
the "Open PDF" option (in edgy, acroread would have been raised
display the document at that point).

Here's the picasa link:

Thanks; and regards,


Robert
