when I click on a link on a web page, and it is a pdf, I get taken to a list of my own hard drive, and am asked to select an application. I have to use safari to download anything!

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== a month a go

Firefox doesn't display PDF files, it needs to be told which program you want used to open PDF files. See this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+file+types
