default for opening pdf files keeps changing back to 'save file' after I set it to open in firefox
Since upgrading to the latest Firefox version, my options for opening adobe pdf files have changed. I set it to 'use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox', it works absolutely fine, then some time over the next few days it changes itself back to 'save file'. Then I have to open options and change it again. This happened to me some years back with a much earlier version of Firefox - I can't remember how it was resolved, I think it just stopped doing it after a while. But it is most irritating!

No, this is not the same problem. I can open a pdf file, that's not the issue. The problem is that I set the pdf file opening rule to 'Options\Applications\Adobe Acrobat\use adobe acrobat in Firefox', and then when I close down the computer, next time I use it Firefox has changed the setting to 'Options\Applications\Adobe Acrobat\save file'. I then have to go back into options and change it again.
Bump. I have the exact same problem. Setting pdf files to open in acrobat does not help (firefox keeps changing it to "save file")...
Any ideas?
I echo the request for Help! I've added Options to my Toolbar so I can more easily change "Save File" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" as the default. Why does Firefox keep reverting to the save file default?
I have the same problem. Firefox 8.0 mac.
