I have Windows 7 Professional. I download PDF forms and Firefox tells me I need to update Adobe Reader to view them. I have version11.0.06. How do I get Firefox to recognize this?

Hello,

In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:

  1. Go to Tools > Options (or Firefox > Options).
  2. In the Options window, select the Applications tab.
  3. In the Search field, type PDF. You should find Portable Document Format (PDF).
  4. On the right handside you should find an Action column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose Preview in Firefox.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

When I followed these steps, Preview in Firefox was already chosen. I clicked the down arrow beside it, Adobe Reader was the default (not Adobe Acrobat In Firefox).
