It appears to work great, except for the minor (but to me fairly important) feature of opening files I download. For instance, I have in my .mailcap file that I want PDF files opened with xpdf. I pointy-click a PDF file and I get a nice box offering to save it somewhere or open it with xpdf. So far so good, Firefox 2.0 still groks my .mailcap file. However, it just puts the PDF file I pointy-clicked in /tmp and doesn't fire up xpdf for me to look at it. So I need to do that myself. That gets boring very quickly. I think it is just refusing to spawn any external application. I also use the Greasemonkey extension and have pointed the 'editor' of user scripts to a script that fires up xterm -e vi. This worked fine in Firefox 1.5.0.7 but now no longer works. When I tell firefox to open a file with a script that just does a 'touch' of a file in /tmp, for example, I don't see a file created in /tmp. Any idea what I might be missing or how I would go about debugging this? I spent the night looking at ktrace output and it's making me go blind. :-o Note that I do not use gnome. A list of packages on my system is here: I am using -CURRENT from fairly recently: FreeBSD fasolt.home.paeps.cx 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #4: Tue Oct 10 14:01:36 CEST 2006 philip@fasolt.home.paeps.cx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FASOLT i386 I'd appreciate any insights.
