Does this effect SeaMonkey also?

This vunerability discussed elsewhere, here. Quick fix also outlined by yours truly. It simply does not allow the FF browser to open the PDF, instead choice of D/L or default PDF reader open. The problem is FF, not just any reader.

Hope this clears things a bit, it got rather OT in that thread, and I figured this might happen.

As far as Seamonkey (I do not have) try the same search in the configurations.
