Hello,

I have an issue when i download a .docx file and want to open it straight from dowloads it automatically opens the file in Acrobat Reader. Is there a setting that would let me change that? My default apps in windows setting are setup correctly and it also shows the correct icon in the dowloads list. I use Office365.

I assume you're running Windows, right click on the file and what app do you see assigned to open it? Post a screenshot

What OS? What version of Firefox? Please advise how is this a Firefox issue?
