Change what firefox should do when I click on a file

[oldefortran]

I can't figure out how to set what firefox should do when I click on a link to a pdf file.
This must be configureable somewhere, but I can't find it.
I have found a setting for using gv for postscript files, but I can't add anything else to that list of actions.
I think it really sucks to hide the list of actions from the user.
Bad Firefox, bad firefox. Shame on you.
Now, how do I get a list of actions?

To remove or change actions, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Downloads -> View & Edit Actions.

To add a new action, wait until you try to download something. FF presets a "what do I do with this" dialog, at that point specify the application that should handle it.

But when it opens things by default? It just opens pdf files, it doesn't ask me anything.
And if I tells it to do something, it seems to forget that.

Do you see a PDF action in View & Edit Actions?

Have you made changes, and they didn't work?

What happens if you remove the action?

I had a same problem.

Then I changed pdf open action from nautilus to use kpdf, and now firefox opens pdf files using kpdf.

I have no idea why firefox follows Nautilus settings on that, but it did the trick.

Now I finaly got a dialog: "what to do, but I can't check the box: "do this automatically for files like this from now n".
What the hell is wrong with firefoxs usability?
