This ticket tracks making browser.shell.setDefaultPDFHandler default to true. That will change Firefox's "set to default" behaviour to also set Firefox as the default PDF handler (on Windows, and only if the existing handler is another browser and not a third-party PDF viewer such as Acrobat Reader or Nitro PDF).

Severity: -- → N/A
Priority: -- → P1

This applies to Windows only. Because we maintain
browser.shell.setDefaultPDFHandler.onlyReplaceBrowsers=true, this
will only apply if the existing handler is another (known) browser,
and not another PDF handler (such as Acrobat Reader or Nitro PDF).
