The problem: on two machines (4.5 and 4.6-Stable), Mozilla (0.9.9 and 1.0) steadfastly refuses to use anything entered in Helper Applications. For example, entering "PDF", "pdf", and "/usr/X11R6/bin/xpdf" to use xpdf to display PDF files makes no difference when a PDF is clicked. It always comes up with the "Save file to" requester. Web searches show that this doesn't seem to be a problem for most people. It seems that whatever I'm doing wrong, I'm doing it consistently wrong. Things tried: linux-mozilla with xpdf Helper Applications entry, linux-mozilla with Acrobat Reader 5.05 nppdf symlinked into the Mozilla plugins directory, native Mozilla with and without --disable-mailnews port option, every conceivable combination of Helper Applications entries. Testing seems to show that any Helper Applications entries are just ignored, so it's not just a PDF thing. The native Java plugin is installed and working. If you can make changes in Mozilla's Helper Application settings and have them take effect... what did you do differently?
