Description Steven Usdansky 2007-05-06 10:05:56 EDT

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.

Expected results:
Evince opens in a new Firefox tab

Why do you expect that to happen ?

Comment 2 Steven Usdansky 2007-05-08 06:40:26 EDT

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 11:18:29 EDT

Are you sure that it's evince and not Adobe's acroread?

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