From my email, I downloaded a .pdf attachment on my MacBook Pro (OS X). I double-clicked in in the downloads window and it immediately opened in Excel and displayed an error. Outside of Firefox, .pdf files are set to open with Preview. There is no option to set .pdf files in Firefox to open with Preview. How do I fix this? There is no "Open with" from the download manager, it just opens with Excel every time.
