<div> Hi,<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<div>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)</div>

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?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>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.

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? :-(<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Are there some specific preferences you want?

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()?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You can definitely clear the pref using autoconfig -

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?
