Adobe Reader 7.0.8/Firefox 2.0.0.12

[MACDRIVE]

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?

you just need to associate pdf with adobe reader, I think

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. 😕

lol, select any pdf file in your finder, right click, get info, open with drop down menu, choose adobe, check "always open with" box.

That's a nice trick! I'm still looking for the "always open with adobe" check box though. 😱

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. 😱

Thank You for your help clevin. 🙂

no p 😀, 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.

I clicked on the Get Info line like you said, but I didn't get the same window as you get. 🙁

click that "open with" triangle. those are all folded up,
