[Solved] Way to prevent acroread from opening pdf files in firefox?

Hi,

I recently installed acroread from aur and now everytime when I click on a link to a pdf-file in firefox, the acroread plugin opens the file in the browser.
Before I installed acroread I got a dialog, where I could choose what to do with the pdf-file.

Under Preferences->Applications I selected "Always ask" for the application type "pdf" but obviously this option is not considered.

Thanks for any ideas.

Try disabling Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox.  Edit>Pref>Manage Add-ons>Plugins.
