Mike, I am using Netscape 6.2, and I have my helper for application/pdf
set up to run ''//opt/kde2/bin/kghostview'', and it works perfectly...
After playing around for a bit, I found that if you uncheck ''Always ask
before opening this type of file'' when you go to save a pdf, and you
have it default to save rather than open, it no longer cares what you
have under Helper applications. In other words, it acts just like yours
was at the meeting, so I'm thinking that maybe that is the problem.
In order to reset it, there is a ''Reset'' button at the bottom of the
helper application dialog box to reset your save/open preferences. I
looked in Mozilla 0.9.4 and it has the same dialogs as Netscape 6.2.
Then next time you download a pdf, it will bring up the box which asks
to save or open and from there you can pick the application to open
with, and set it as the default action, or whatever it is you are
wanting to do.
Hope this helps,
Justin
