I still can't reproduce this; when I have a that plugin installed, it works without prompting. > The "entry" I was talking about is the setting "PDF" => "chosen > action." The reason I asked, is because you said you "removed the setting which prompts me"; well the setting may actually be the cause of the prompting, that is not what it is supposed to do. > When removing all references to PDF, the entry is re-created (as I > chose that option by saying "use this application for that filetype, > without prompting") but ignored. I can reproduce the first part, about it being recreated. > This bug report is NOT about the plugin. Period. Unfortunately, this might be a bug in the plugin, forcing the existence of that action for every user. As reasonable as it is to say that firefox shouldn't get confused by buggy plugins/extensions/modules, that isn't possible with the current implementation and can't be easily changed. > It is NOT about what reader I use, either. That was meant to be a suggestion independent of the bug. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
