It looks like now, a week after I started to use Firefox (FF) I can't down load PDF files as PDF files. It was working fine last week and now it isn't. FF is changing my downloaded PDF's to HTML and it looks like FF has gone into all of my folders and started changing the documents from PDF to FF HTML.
