Hi, I'm in a corporate enviroment and I've deployed Firefox ESR. For a special project, I need to avoid that users can set "Use Acrobat for open PDF". In other words, I need to force firefox to use always the pdf preview inside firefox and never let the user to change this. I've looked at GPO but nothing found. Can I use pref.js or other things to reach that?

thanks

This is more related to IT help desk that you need to ask them since this isn't a personal computer.

There is no IT help desk.

Moved thread from Firefox to Firefox for Enterprise section.

Actually the configuration is done throught autoconfig.js and a specific mozilla.cfg file inside the installation folder. Folder in program files\mozilla is read only for domain users. If neede, I can enable GPO.

We don't currently have a way to force pdf.js. Usually the request is to turn off pdf.js.

Please open an issue here:

and I'll add it to our queue.
