How do I manually add the php3 file type to work with Adobe Reader, Safari does this automatically.

more options

downloading php3 files auto jumps to text edit,, cannot tell it to open with "adobereader" , no chance to do so. Tried reading on how I might add the file manually to tell preferences applications to add this file type and open it with adobe reader. Only saw download the file and then firefox will let you open with a program. Can't get there in that text edit opens it.

Safari has no problems with this in that it opens it in adobe reader easily, no work on my part so ???? how do I get firefox to do the same

Do you get the dialog asking whether you want to Open, Save or Cancel? That may indicate the file type Firefox thinks it is getting from the server.

If you can't coax Firefox into revealing the content type indicated by the server, could you post a link to one of the PDFs, assuming no login is required to access one?
