Description Steven Usdansky 2007-05-06 14:05:56 UTC
Description of problem:
WHen trying to display a pdf in Firefox, I get a separate evince window instead
of evince embedded in Firefox

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-2.0.0.3-4.fc7
evince-0.8.0-5.fc7
mozplugger-1.7.3-3.1

How reproducible:
every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox
2. Find a page with a link to a pdf file
3. Click on the link to the pdf file
  
Actual results:
Dialog box pops up offering to open the pdf in Document Viewer (default) or
Firefox. Selecting Firefox gives a blank tab and another identical dialog box.
Selecting Document Viewer opens Evince in its own window.

Expected results:
Evince opens in a new Firefox tab

Add-ons installed: Adblock, ColorfulTabs, Diggler, DOM INspector, Duplicate Tab,
Flashblock, Image Zoom, User Agent Switcher,

Why do you expect that to happen ?

Comment 2 Steven Usdansky 2007-05-08 10:40:26 UTC
Two reasons:
1. It used to work that way in Fedora
2. It works that way in Ubuntu

Comment 3 Christopher Aillon 2007-05-08 15:18:29 UTC
Are you sure that it's evince and not Adobe's acroread?

If it ever worked that way, it was a bug.
