Don't let Firefox open PDF file



Opening PDF file can sometime make your browser crash. It is irritating you know, especially when you have been tabbed browsing in Firefox. That is a big file, so why not download it to temp folder and open it with external PDF Reader. And my opinion is PDF file are best viewed in PDF reader.

Instructions;
  1. Go to the “Tools -> Options” menu
  2. Select the “Downloads” tab
  3. Open “View and Edit Actions…”
  4. Enter “pdf” in the “Search” box
  5. Select “Change Action…”
  6. Change the selection from “Use this Plugin” to “Open them with the default application”, which should point to Adobe Acrobat Reader, or here is showing my favorite Foxit Reader
