I have followed these steps: Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Options. Select the Applications panel. Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it. Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select the PDF viewer you wish to use. (Photoshop is my choice.)

I even turned off my computer and restarted and it still doesn't open the PDFs in photoshop.

Please help. This happened after the last update to Firefox.

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
