Hi,
We've problems with some PDFs and the Firefox pdfjs implementation and we
need to disable it. If we set the policy 'DisableBuiltinPDFViewer' to true the PDF
handler disappears inside Options > General > Applications, so we can't use the
Adobe connector to visualize it and the user is forced to download or open the PDF.
What is the Adobe connector? If the PDF isn't viewed within Firefox using
our viewer, open or download would be the only other choices. There's no way to
route it to Firefox (because there is no Acrobat/PDF plugin)
You're right, the Adobe connector doesn't work with Firefox 64bits. But is
it normal that the PDF handler disappears and user can't opt to ask or open
forever, or use the external reader (Adobe Reader) for default?
What are you getting when you open a PDF? You should still get the helper
dialog and the user can make a choice what to do with that PDF. If you disabled
pdfjs, Firefox at that point doesn't know what to do with PDFs.
There are cases when PDFs are sent with the wrong mime type and we can't handle
them properly.
Understood. I will investigate more, I was just surprised by not finding PDF in
the application list.
By the way, a noob question: is it possible to reset or change a user
preference with policies with Firefox 68 ESR? I've seen the new Preferences
policy in 78.3, it's very interesting but we can't use it yet. But anyway it
don't support pdfjs.* preferences? :-(
Are there some specific preferences you want? I can just add pdfjs to the list.
Yes please! In this case we will use autoconfig but in a near future we'd like
to get rid of it.
For some reason we changed DisableBuiltinPDFViewer to false but many users
still have pdfjs.disabled to true. The only way to change it is using the
autoconfig pref()?
You can definitely clear the pref using autoconfig - *clearPref(prefName)*
Perfect, thx
PD. One of the problems with the Firefox pdfjs is that it don't show the
digital signatures. Do you know if it will be solved soon?
I don't have an answer to that one. It hasn't come up before. I'll mention it
to the PDF folks. FYI, the issue is:

Nice! I hope it can be fixed soon, at time for future 78 ESR... or at least 88
ESR.
