Well if I have a Web page with say a pdf -file on it and when I click on the file Firefox say that my browser doesn't support that file. I have Adobe Reader installed but the file doesn't open. So I have to save the file and the open it. How do I tell my Firefox android that it should open the file with Adobe. Same with a word doc that should open with Word

  • Try checking the settings of the Adobe Reader application or your phone settings

Another alternative is that you use firefox to open your pdf, I can tell you how, if you like.
