PDFs stopped opening in Firefox
I have the preference set to open PDFs in Firefox and have been using Zotero this way for several years. Suddenly as of yesterday, I'm getting the dialogue asking what to do with this file when I double click a reference or directly on a PDF file.
Looking in Firefox plugins, turns out Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 11.0.11 is disabled because it's "known to be vulnerable and should be updated." But nothing I try leads to a successful update. Using Firefox 48.0.2 on a MacBook Pro.
Any fix?
Thanks!

about:preferences#applications
and specifically everything having to do with Adobe or PDF
(to be clear: that's in Firefox. Zotero doesn't affect that setting)
-In seeking to delete mimetypes.rdf, I find on my hard drive there is no folder "Zotero" located at /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/
-Looking in Firefox prefernces#applications:
-There is a preference called "Portable Document Format (PDF)" which is set to "Preview in Firefox." However, just above it there is another preference labeled ""Portable Document Format" (i.e. without the "(PDF)") set to "always ask." For this latter, there is no option to choose "Preview in Firefox."
Any further thoughts?
Thanks again.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile will help you find the Firefox profile folder.
(though note that you didn't read the instructions correctly: if you're using Zotero for Firefox, you wouldn't see a Zotero folder in that filepath; you'd see a Firefox folder, which is what you're looking for)
Thanks again!
