When you work with the Finder on MacOS and want to open a PDF file, you can right click it, and select the wanted application under the `Open With' sub menu. There are a couple of applications listed including Safari, Chrome, and Chromium, but not Firefox.

As workaround for now you will have to select Other, and manually find Firefox.

Stephen, is that the right component for it? If not maybe you can move it appropriately? Thanks.
