Package: iceweasel
Version: 7.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=613752 I
want to suggest to add an "open with" entry to the context menu of the
download history.

currently clicking on a link to a pdf file, firefox/iceweasel asks me
what to do (save / open with...). Usually I want to do both - store the
pdf somewhere in a non-temp directory and open it. This leads me to
choose "save", the file is downloaded, the download history pops up,
where I can click on the downloaded file to open it. However being
affected by the aforementioned bug, the pdf is not opened with an
appropriate application. Unfortunately in the download history I only
have the choices "open" and "open containing folder" (among others).
>From a regular file browser I can choose the appropriate pdf viewer but
end up with dozens of open file browser instances.

Therefore my suggestion is to make the application choice not only
available from the website link but also from the download history.

I also filed this bug as:
