All:
I am having problems downloading or viewing PDF files using Firefox 2.0.0.6 with Mandriva Linux 2008. No matter how I have reset Firefox or the KDE desktop to show that I want the PDF files either downloaded or viewed with kpdf, the popup window appears asking if I want to view the selected PDF file with Cinepaint or do I want to download it? Any help on this matter? Keith |

First thing I would suggest is go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ pick your main, contrib, updates, non-free mirrors. CLick the Proceed to Step 2, 3, click up a terminal, su - root and cut from browser, and paste in terminal. Then do a urpmi --wget --auto-select --auto to get all your updates. That should bring you up to date with mozilla-firefox Version: 2.0.0.11-1.1mdv2008.0 and several other fixes. exit will close the root session exit will close the terminal. |

As far as I can remember, this has always been like this. |
