PDF VIEWER

more options

I'm using 107.0.1 vers. At this link it states: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-or-choose-another-viewer#w_use-a-different-pdf-viewer-for-downloaded-pdf-files

Disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer

You can also set a different third-party PDF viewer to handle PDF files, instead of Firefox’s built-in PDF viewer. To switch from using the built-in PDF viewer to another viewer: 1. Click the menu button and select . 2. In the panel, go down to the Applications section. (SO WHERE IN THE HELL IS THIS SECTION???) YOU CAN'T DO I never selected Mozilla to open any pdf and there's no where to opt out or change based on what all the troubleshooting tips say... All these tips must be located on a much older version of Firefox cause they ain't in my version OR they are hid under some dubious section... Pretty frustrating....when you want to use Adobe and can't cause I'm locked in under Firefox....don't know how that has happened unless it was done automatically under one of the many current upgrades that have been coming down over the last month.

...when I try to save the pdf doc. it still saves it as a Firefox HTML DOC.

One possibility is that the file name has .html on the end, which is not what you want because it's not a web page. You can change a Windows setting to force it to show you the true file extensions: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-show-file-extensions-in-windows/. Is Firefox adding .html when saving PDFs?

Another possibility is that the file extension is correct, but Windows' default application for PDFs is Firefox instead of Acrobat. I never used Windows 8.1, but if you go to wherever you set default applications, and you set the default for PDF back to Adobe, does the description change? If it already is Adobe, try switching around among applications and see whether Windows gets the message that it's NOT a Firefox file.

See Settings > General > Applications. At some point Mozilla started altering choices made by users so you may find there are other settings you want to change.

There is a preference in about:config to disable Firefox as a pdf viewer. Change as shown if you want to go that far. pdfjs.disabled > true

By the way, the Settings page has a tiny search box you can use to filter it. This can be handy when scrolling down doesn't bring what you are looking for into view. For example, you could type applic to pull up the Applications section, or even PDF (although that might appear in other places as well).

jscher2000 - Support Volunteer Thanks for the info...didn't see three dots but inputted Appl in the search box at top of Settings page and it got me to where I changed the default reader to be Adobe Reader, which I already had, but when I try to save the pdf doc. it still saves it as a Firefox HTML DOC. Do I have to restart the desktop for it to take affect? I restarted Firefox, but that didn't help either. Any other idea?

P.S. there is no HTML extension in the address line...

No .html is correct. So were you able to change the document type explanation through Windows' Default Apps settings?

jscher2000 The BC link stating to single click on the folder enabled me to select Adobe Reader again as my default for all pdf to be opened and that cleared my problem up and "so far" windows has maintained that default. tx again
