MY PDF DOCUMENTS SHOWING AS FIREFOX ICON [How do I revert this]

You are here

This issue could of probably occured to one or two people. This happens when you download a pdf document and it is automatically saved as a firefox icon link.

It can get irritating for anyone because as documents are shared, you would want to send them as is.

Here is how to solve the issue. 

Go to Firefox Options>Applications and changed all Actions for the pdf files to Adobe Reader.  Your pdf files might still appeare as Firefox html documents and will open firefox every time you click on them.  

Right click on one of these firefox html documents and chose "open with Adobe reader".  That particular file, as well as every other firefox html document on your computer changes to Adobe pdf with the Adobe icon or you can re-start your computer, this can help effect changes.
