<r>With the latest firefox, I can no longer "automatically" open an attached pdf file in an email. Previously I was able to <br/>
view the pdf files since the Open with seems to tied to acroread.<br/>
<br/>
Now, I do not how to configure to use /usr/bin/acroread to make the new firefox to open pdf file by default.<br/>
<br/>
More specifically, I have a small popup window that says<br/>
<br/>
You have chosen to open:<br/>
img--any.pdf<br/>
<br/>
which is: application/pdf type<br/>
from: <URL url="https://outlook.office.com">https://outlook.office.com</URL><br/>
<br/>
What should Firefox do with this file?<br/>
Open with Firefox Web Browser (default) <br/>
<br/>
Other...<br/>
<br/>
But I cannot stick in /usr/bin/acroread in the Other.<br/>
<br/>
May I have missed something.
Note: I saved this post as draft and the gibberish html codes appear.. not my problem.
The new firefox is quite awful to use, to be frank. I have not gained anything except to get some frustration.
How to make firefox uses acroread to open an attached pdf file?
Re: How to make firefox uses acroread to open an attached pdf file?
I quite agree. This Firefox version stinks. Centos user for many years now. openSUSE, debian, arch, here I come.

It won't make any difference which distro you use, if you use firefox then you will end up with firefox 60+ at some point as all support for older versions will be withdrawn. Don't blame us for the state of firefox, tell Mozilla.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: How to make firefox uses acroread to open an attached pdf file?
okay, I have a CentOS with FF 52.8.0 (64 bit). Everything works perfectly so far. Seems like I have no choice but to stay with 2.6.32-754.el6.x86_64 until the computer die then (or something breaks..).. All other CentOS box with FF60+ is making me losing productivity. Web base dropbox not connecting soon enough or some weird problem. If this is a universal FF problem, then I shall consider whether to switch to something else eventually. Really really annoyed. Sorry for expressing my disappointment.

firefox has no dependency on what kernel you run so you are not stuck "with 2.6.32-754.el6.x86_64 until the computer die".
