New description:
Regardless of how the PDF reader debate plays out, there will be a
particular PDF reader that Debathena prefers.
If it's not acroread, we should consider upgrading people's Firefox
profile defaults when they use Debathena.
We should figure out a good way to do this - preferably one that doesn't
break acroread under Athena, and also allows users to change the defaults
back.
Something akin to a .generation file within the Firefox profile may be a
good start here, but I'm not sure what the whole implementation would look
like.
