I have changed the action for content type=PDF to "Use Adobe Acrobat" at least 100 times. The action keeps resetting to "Save File" and I get a new tab which is blank. If I go back into ath applications file (again) and select "Use Adobe Acrobat", I get a new tab with the PDF file displayed correctly.

Hi, How to fix preferences that won't save should help, and don't forget to click on OK after changing a preference.
