Tell me how to fix it so when I double click on a PDF that is attached in Thunderbird, it responds and I can save or open it. Now I get nothing when I double click!!!! you broke it.

Preferences/General/Files & Attachments, click the Action for pdf content and set Acrobat as the default opening app.
