I want to use the native pdf viewer in Firfox 19, but the document keeps being opened in my previous pdf reader.

How do I open this using the native reader?

Also, if then want to open the document in another reader, is thee a way to do this?

Here we go:

  1. Go to Tools > Options. Select the Applications tab.
  2. Select Portable Document Format from the list.
  3. On the right handside, select Preview in Firefox or anything else you want from the list.
  4. Click OK to save settings.
