I have Acrobat. I don't want to view PDFs within Firefox. I set Acrobat to NOT open in a web browser (because I want the full blown Acrobat program with all the menus and options the way I want it). FF should do like before, ie, ask me if I want to download it or open it in Acrobat, just the way it was. Can anybody help me? Otherwise, it's uninstall and go back to FF18.

Hi nobler,
at the top of the Firefox window, click on the Tools menu and then select Options to access the options window.
Go to Applications Panel and next to Portable Document Format(PDF) choose your preferred default Action.
