Bug#761178: iceweasel: PDF document do not open anymore

[Rainer Dorsch]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 32.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

since a few days/weeks pdf documents do not open anymore for
me. Instead they get downloaded immediately, without iceweasel
querying, if the pdf should be downloaded or opened. When I try to
open from the download tab, iceweasel even tries to open the pdf with
krita instead of okular. When I run dolphin (KDE file browser), pdfs
open as expected in okular.

I open this issue against iceweasel, since it affects iceweasel, it is
not necessarily an iceweasel issue. Here are similar issues described

Thanks,
Rainer
