I set the pdf download settings on mobile to always use the firefox viewer, but it can't open or read any pdf files. How do I change the default setting to save to my device instead? I am using an android phone. I'm open to resetting Firefoxif needed (or a mobile version of firefox refresh)

Hi

I would recomend that you long press on the link to the .pdf and you should see an option to download the file to your device. You should then be able to naviagte to it in the Downloads folder using a file manager application.
