I accidentally set a default app for opening PDFs from Firefox, and it crashes EVERY TIME. I can't figure out how to change the default, nor can I find the program to correct the problem.

Go to Settings 

   Go to Apps
   Select the app that is currently the default launcher for a certain file type.
   Scroll down to “Launch By Default”.
   Tap “Clear Defaults”.

I'm unable to find the program that launches when I attempt to open a PDF, so I CAN'T clear the default setting.

Try installing Adobe Reader for reading PDF Files.

Adobe Reader in PlayStore

Downloading another program doesn't change the default app. I can't even figure out what the default app is because it crashes so fast.
