Hi

Anyone know how I can change the default PDF viewing options in Firefox Android?

Currently PDFs open by default within Firefox. Even though it's generating a dialogue asking to open in an external app.

Please help

Hi

In the Firefox for Android menu under Settings, have you opted up allow Firefox for Android to open links in other apps?
