FF 3.6.6+ will only open documents within the browser
When a website has a link that points to a document (any type, not just pdf), clicking the link results in the document being opened within FF as opposed to getting a dialog window asking "what to do".
I've checked the options/applications and there are no settings in there for microsoft documents. There was one for adobe which was defaulted to something like "open within FF"
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

See "File handling in Firefox 3 and SeaMonkey 2": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
Thanks but this doesn't address my problem.
in the "managing file types" link the 3rd step is:
"The Applications panel will display. Select the type of file for which you want to change the default action. (Note that multiple entries may exist for the same file extension, one for each MIME type.)"
The problem is that none of the file types I'm having the problem with exist in this list. Lets use a specific example: microsoft word. Word is not in the application list so I am unable to make any changes to the "default" behavior.
Additionally, if I left-click on the link then it immediately opens it embedded w/in the browser...no option to do otherwise.
If I right-click & save as, it asks me where I want to save it and properly identifies it as a word document
Try to rename mimeTypes.rdf to to mimeTypes.rdf.sav see if that helps. #How_to_find_your_profile|Profile folder
