how can I change from using Adobe in fire fox to using only adobe app. I have checked in tools to use adobe reader but adobe in fire fox keeps coming up.
I know I was able to do this before. Under tools - options - applications - PDF files are listed to use Adobe reader but everytime I open a PDF it comes up using adobe in Firefox. I do not that. Want to be able to open the PDF right there.

Do you have Foxit Reader Plugin installed? You can check by: Tools / Options / Add-ons / Plug-ins
If you do, disable it and see what happens when you open a PDF file in Firefox.
thank you for the info. how can I disable it. I did change it in tools to read use adobe and it worked, but is there a way to disable it?
My instruction should be:
Tools / Add-ons / Plug-in
and you should see Foxit Reader Plugin there. Click on the line and you'll see a "disable" option there.
Do you want the PDF files to open embedded in a Firefox tab with the Adobe Reader or in the external Adobe Reader ?
