In Firefox, Edit->Preferences, click the Applications tab, look for application/pdf and make the obvious adjustments. I find that for nearly everything else, chromium works better than firefox, but for PACER, only Firefox supports RECAP. You do use RECAP, I hope. R's, John PS: On my FBSD 9.0, acroread8 works OK, much slower than evince but in some cases it renders the PDF better, and often translates to postscript better for printing.
