How to ignore "Content-Disposition: attachment" in Firefox

Viewed 9892

How can I cause Firefox to ignore the Content-Disposition: attachment header? I find it absolutely annoying that I can't view an image in the browser, because it asks me to download it.

I don't want to download the file, I just want to view it in the browser. If the browser doesn't have a plugin to handle it, then it should ask to download.

E.g. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed as a plugin for Firefox. I click a link to a PDF, and it asks me to save it, when it should open in the browser using the plugin. This is the behaviour if the server does not send the Content-Disposition: attachment header in the response.

Firefox 3.6.6 Windows XP SP3
