I want to open a pdf file in adobe when I click on the link. currently the file gets saved and I can't change it. I have read through the suggestions and go in tools > options > applications and reassigned the pdf options asking first and firefox always download just the files somewhere.

To test how Firefox works no 'custom' on your system, could you experience in two minutes?
Create a new Firefox profile
It will have your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash), but not of themes, extensions, or other customizations. It should also have databases of completely fresh settings and cool a cache folder.
Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.
When you create a new profile, I recommend using the location suggested default and to avoid data loss, do not re - using any folder existing. Before deleting useless profiles, I suggest you make a backup first in case something go wrong.
Firefox remembers better in the new profile?

You can change how Firefox handles downloads using the Panel Applications of the Options page.

It may take several seconds for Firefox to populate the list. Then, type pdf in the search above the list box to filter it.
Firefox should display Portable Document (PDF) Format on the left.
On the right side, there is a drop-down list that should allow you to move to "Always ask" or Viewer, or external application of your choice.
It work?

I need to know how to activate the box that asks if I'd like firefox to remember this password.
Normally when you install Firefox this feature is enabled by default. You can check the status in the Options dialog box:
the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > Security tab
In the second section, there is a checkbox for "Remember passwords for sites". These articles have more information:
- Password Manager - don't forget, delete, modify and import passwords saved in Firefox
- Use a master password to protect stored passwords and logins
Now... some websites add code to the fields on their forms to block the AutoComplete (which blocks also save connections), so that you can find some sites where Firefox will not save the password for this reason. It may be some workaround solutions, we discussed several times for Yahoo! mail, for example, but since they are long to describe, please post if the problem is specific to the site and provide if possible a link to the login form.
