I would like to view ALL pdf files on my local harddrive with the built in viewer in Firefox, but I don't know how to make this work in Windows 10.

I prefer the view of pdf files I get on the web in Firefox to the view and scrolling speed I get in Adobe on my local saved pdf's. Is there any way to get my local files to load into the same Firefox viewer that I see on web files? I am using Windows 10 64 bit Firefox.

Hi, You should be able to have that if Firefox is set as your default PDF Viewer. You would have to go into Windows --> Settings --> Apps --> Default Apps If PDF is in the list Displayed Click on what ever Program is Set and Change to Firefox or if it is not Choose Default Apps By File Type then Click Adobe and then Change it from List of Programs. Will need to find Firefox.exe

The other way is to just drag and drop them into Firefox.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
