After some suggestions on the list, My solution to this was to edit
my profile mime configuration file:

	~/.mozilla/firefox/4apxqcci.default/mimeTypes.rdf

locate the relevant section (e.g. the 'pdf' type):

   <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:application/pdf"
                    NC:alwaysAsk="false"
                    NC:saveToDisk="false"
                    NC:useSystemDefault="false"
                    NC:handleInternal="false">
     <NC:externalApplication RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:application/pdf"/>
   </RDF:Description>

and change it to say:
                    NC:alwaysAsk="true"
