Hi Samuel, just want to clarify your request. Do you want a way to open PDF in acrobat reader when you opened a PDF in Firefox Android? If not, can you please let us know what use case are you thinking about? Thanks for reporting this.

Yes I need to save pdf like in onedrive and print. Due to function save to pdf not working I must close Firefox

You can use the "Share" button to save the PDF in your phone's Downloads or print it.

Another work around is to Download the pdf and when you click Open, it'll prompt you for which app to open it in.
