On one site... FireFox always asks what application to use to open a pDF even with "Do this automatically..." select. How do I make it always use Adobe Reader for PDF files?

When I click on a PDF file it always presents the "You have chosen to open ..." dialog box. Even though it knows it is a PDF file and should use the Adobe Reader. I've checked the Tools / Options ... Application section which is set correctly as well. I've tried setting it to other aps too. yet it always asks. How do I get around this?

Hi meunchdl,

You might want to take a look at the Knowledge Base article How to fix preferences that won't save. There is some good information in there that might help you with your issue.
