Previously when I downloaded pdf files I had the option to open or save. Now it defaults to save. How do I change this back to asking to save or download.

I found the setting in Mozilla Options under Applications. The Portable Document Format (PDF) was set to Save File. Changed it from Save File to Always Use Adobe Reader 9.0. Now asks me if I want to open or save. Please confirm there are no other options that need to be reset.
