Narrative:

On very short final we received a 'gld [ground lift dumping] disarmed' caution message. The gld was confirmed in the automatic position. The captain said 'I'll just pull the spoilers if gld doesn't deploy; if that's ok with you.' that sounded acceptable to me so we continued the landing. Upon touchdown gld did not deploy. The aircraft bounced and became airborne again. I set the aircraft down again and the captain deployed the flight spoilers. The remainder of the landing was uneventful. The touchdowns were firm; but not hard. Once at the gate the captain explained our out of the ordinary landing to the passengers. No faults were found with the gld system by maintenance.when the message appeared I didn't think it would be an issue at all. I thought of it as a nuisance message. The captain's suggestion to manually pull the flight spoilers seemed perfectly acceptable to me at the time. After talking about the event later; we both agreed that we should have executed a go around and dealt with the gld fault before attempting a landing. Upon reviewing the QRH though; I'm not sure I would have been comfortable performing the checklist. The first item is put the gld switch into the man arm position. With a malfunctioning gld system; I would be afraid the gld's would deploy in flight.
