Acrobat not loading in browser
PDfs loaded in my browser for years but I had to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro and now it will not, when I click on a PDF link it takes me to the "Enter name of file to save to" window.
I have everything setup properly. Attached is the about:plugins and Options:Applications windows.
I have tried every suggestion on the "Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems" page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems#w_re-initializing-the-plugins-database and none of them work .
Any helpful suggestions? Thanks.

I posted a screen shot of my Application Settings and they all ask FIrefox to open PDFs in Firefox, but it does not work. I have everything set correctly but it still does not work.
Hi, yes you posted a screenshot, but it does not show what your settings for PDF files are (Adobe Acrobat Forms Document is a different type of file, with a different extension). The Applications dialog has a search bar at the top, try entering "pdf" there and see if a row comes up, which contains the setting for PDF files. If it does, switch that setting to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and see if this helps.

It might be that there is a saved preference that needs to be reset in the Application settings of Firefox.

Anyone?
Still hoping for a response on this. I have everything set up according to the instructions as you can see in the attached image on the original post. Yes, I have Refreshed Firefox. How can I get Firefox to obey the Application setting or Acrobat?

Thank you, Rimas. After two weeks of being ignored it was nice to finally receive a serious response. Even better, your reply does work.
