I use Windows 10 and firefox 60.0. After the recent firefox update, PDFs are now opening in my browser, apparently linked to my google account rather than opening separately in adobe reader as I want them to. See screen grab attached Adobe reader is set as my default PDF reader in the add-ons settings. How do I set firefox to open this 'google-ised' PDFs in adobe reader once more?

Screen grab? Go to your File association settings in Windows for settings.
