The last Firefox upgrade changed all my pdfs to Firefox html docs. Going into settings I was able to change back to pdfs, but emailing any pdf s is still converting to html. I am using Outlook for mail, pulling files from Drop Box or my hard drive - not from the web/browser - and Firefox is in the middle changing my files. Very annoying. Desktop PC. Latest versions of Outlook, Adobe Pro, Firefox. Please suggest a fix. Thanks,

Thanks for your response. I received an update on Adobe Pro yesterday and installing that seems to have wiped out whatever garbage the last Firefox update put in. For now problem solved. If the next update creates a repeat, I'll be back :) Thanks again, JM

Is there a Windows 7 version of this menu: Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types > New > "PDF" overwrite.
