I opened a pdf file in word and accidentally choose open with the word file and now all my pdf files are showing the windows icon on them instead of the reader icon. When I try to open a pdf file from a website it asks what should firefox do with this file open with and then when I click the browse button it only gives modzilla thunderbird, internet explorer, notepad, microsoft office 200 windows photo viewer, windows media player and windows wordpad application nothing about reader. How do I fix this ?

Hi

This does not sound like an issue with Firefox, but more of a question about Microsoft Windows.

I recommend you have a look on a Microsoft Windows support page for information about changing the file type association in your version of Windows.

Try to open the Adobe Reader program and check its Options/Preferences to see if you can restore the default file associations.
