Opening docs from sites puzzle--why no choice to open or save?
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
This is a real puzzle with no clear answer yet on the boards that I could find. Two iMacs. One running OS X 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.3 and the other running OS X 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.5.9. Problem happens on the one running the newer version of Firefox only. When trying to open a pdf directly from a website, the dialog box only allows a save option with no direct open option. attaching two jpgs--one illustrating the problem (just the save option) and the other ("noproblem") showing what we want: a choice to save or open. What do I need to do on the machine with the problem to change the dialog box to the open and save variety shown in "noproblem"? Thank you!!
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
Maybe 7 months ago; around the time that the machine was upgraded to FF 3.6.3

Adding the two referenced screenshots to show the "problem" on one machine relative to what I want it to be ("noproblem" as runs on my other machine).
