For a long time I have set my firefox so that when clicking on a link to a pdf file in Firefox it will open the file in acroread outside of the browser on the desktop.
I noticed that in F10 with a fully updated system, that despite the correct behaviour being set in Edit->Preferences->Applications that Firefox now only allows the option to download the pdf file! This is in the Gnome desktop and does exactly the same on two different machines running the same system (and SElinux is enabled)
Does anyone know if this is a bug or some weird intended behaviour in Forefox 3.0.5 ?

It turned out there is more this this than I first thought - so I have posted to MozillaZine at:

I would still like to know if there is a workaround?
