Firefox thinks the default application for viewing pdfs should be mac's TextEdit (which just produces jumbled garbage). I can manually change the application when the download window appears, but how do you change the default for future downloads? I can download the pdfs correctly from Safari and they open in my pdf viewer (Preview).

Did you check the Portable Document Format (PDF) setting in Options/Preferences ?
