How do I prevent Adobe's pdf reader from opening a pdf within firefox?

  • 772

I've installed adobe's pdf reader.

However, now when I download a pdf using firefox, often adobe's reader loads the pdf in a firefox reader.

How do I set the default behaviour to storing the pdf, rather then loading it within firefox?

firefox

    You would have to go to about:addons, select "Plugins" and disable the adobe reader plugin:

    Adobe plugin disabled

    There is also another option, which is a bit more complicated:

    • Go to Edit->Preferences->Applications
    • Type pdf in the filter box
      pdf in filter box
    • Choose to "save file" by default instead of opening with the default plugin
