When using windows ten on my hp notebook, which is new, it won’t open a pdf

This only started the last few days.
Thanks for any help.


Make sure the file associations in Windows and in Firefox are set to
your PDF reader.


I have been using Firefox on Windows 10 since it came out and Firefox
since the Netscape days. While in recent version Firefox handle PDF
files and Adobe Reader differently I can still click on a PDF link and
have the PDF file open.



. I downloaded Adobe flash but still can’t open a pdf file with Firefox. Is
Adobe reader a different program?


Acrobat Reader opens PDF files for viewing.

Firefox 56 opened a PDF in its own internal viewer (no plugin).

MSEdge opens a PDF, when you bind the PDF option to "TwinUI".
And Firefox is forced to hand off to MSEdge when you select
that setting.

*******

Here, I've returned control to Firefox viewing the PDF itself.
