PDFs will open in Adobe Reader by default while using Safari, but will open in Preview while using Firefox. What do I need to do to get PDFs to open in Adobe Reader while using Firefox?

I tried unchecking Open with [Preview (default)] but it won't uncheck. And there's no other selection besides Preview.

ajx22, I clicked on your link but I see no mention of Adobe Reader in that link. :confused:
 
lol, select any pdf file in your finder, right click, get info, open with drop down menu, choose adobe, check "always open with" box.
 
sorry, wasn't on my MB. should be "change all" button.

I don't think we're getting the same windows. Firefox sends the PDF file to the desk top. When I click on the PDF, that's what I see. I would definitely make Adobe the default if I could. :eek:

Thank You for your help clevin. :)
 
no p :D, you should click that "get info" line which is right below the highlighted line of your context menu. then you will see the window I posted above.

PS. if you are using an Intel chip powered mac. you might want to get free adobe reader 8. which runs faster on intel chip.
