I have pdf viewers. But FF sometimes will pass the link off to it, but mostly won't. And this has been going on for the past few releases of FF.

AND, then there are the Adobe built pdf files that the viewers all complain about, for having forms that they can't process. Primary complaints with Taxing agency fill in the blank forms.

Tried to download Foxit. Kept trying to send me .exe files. Waiting on them to respond to an email.

Regards,
Steve Thompson

for abandoning Linux).

Well, you could abandon Adobe...

I just installed Foxit on my Ubuntu (open 
https://www.foxitsoftware.com/products/pdf-reader/ in your Firefox on your Linux and 
click the "Free Download" button, then follow the instructions given). Now any 
.pdf link just opens the document to view just fine.

Cheers,
