How do I undo the"always save pdf" and return to "open pdf"
I clicked the box to have Mozilla always save an adobe pdf rather than ask me each time - is there a way to get back to the asking if I just want to open it and not always save it?

hello, you can set the default action for how pdfs should be handled when you go to the firefox menu ≡ > options > applications section & scroll down and edit the entry for the portable document format (pdf).
Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files
Did you check the Portable Document Format (PDF) setting in "Options > Applications"?
That is what I thought - however my application list is blank! Any ideas how I fix that?
Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
