Hi All,

I've searched around online and haven't found a solution yet so I thought I'd post here. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the file association for Firefox so that PDFs download and open (with Preview or Adobe Reader) rather than use the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in"? Currently on our computers, PDFs are trying to use the NPAPI plug-in and are opening to a blank tab within Firefox. We'd rather have PDFs download and open with an app. Wondering if there is a way to do this with a terminal command or script to update a large number of computers with this issue.

Thanks!
~Joe
