I may actually ask them anyway, see if I can gleam more information from them as to the file type.

Having said that, I think PDF files on the Web can have different mime types, some of which are somewhat odd and cause this behavior. IN my case, 98% of all PDF's open inline in the browser but a few give me the dialog box. It's gotta be some mime type that firefox doesn't know about, so it asks. <div class="moz-signature">Lutz Andersohn <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lutz.andersohn@gmail.com">lutz.andersohn@gmail.com</a> (925) 784 1565 D-19318, AFF-I <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/b65/2b6">http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/b65/2b6</a> Public key ID: 0x9620D1A6</div> On 05/16/2014 03:46 PM, Elfy wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:53767936.2070305@btinternet.com" type="cite">On 16/05/14 21:38, Paul Sutton wrote: <blockquote type="cite">Hi I am having trouble with file associations on xubuntu 14.04 if I go to this page <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.oldwayschool.co.uk/page/?title=Community+activities&pid=86">http://www.oldwayschool.co.uk/page/?title=Community+activities&pid=86</a> click on the link to the pdf link it tries to open it in scratch by default I had some help in #xubuntu, so know how to open it in evince manually, however I want to try and find out why this is happening (tried this on 13.10 on netbook and it's fine) and see if there is actually an issue somewhere.

It seems odd that this happens despite pdf files being bound to document viewer in the browsers settings. would it be possible to try clicking the link and see what happens please , It could just be my set up, if other people try it it could suggest a wider issue if there is a problem. thanks Paul </blockquote> I get asked if I want to save the file and it's opening as a PDF.
