Open PDF Placeholder from NewsFox

Mc · Post by Mc » Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:18 pm

If I've set NoScript to "Forbid other plugins" and click in a NewFox feed on a pdf-link, it tries to open the placeholder within NewsFox and blocks it. If the plugin is allowed by NoScript, it opens in a tab outside of NewsFox, as it should in any case.

An example may help you to reproduce it:

Feed: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/news.rdf
Title: Mozilla Launches Firefox 4 for Android
Link: Reviewer’s guide (PDF)

I get the placeholder in a tab outside, if I middle-click the link, btw.

Is there a setting or anything else I can do to avoid this?

There's no setting to avoid it.
Investigating work-arounds.

Sorry, it's not fixed in both versions of SeaMonkey.
I use the Foxit Reader Plugin, btw.

Do you have a current link (or whatever) that you are clicking to test?
