765214 - Microsoft SkyDrive complains about the lack of Adobe Reader when trying to open the PDF and PDF.js is installed and enabled

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Web Compatibility :: Desktop, defect)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen) (away from Bugzilla likely until 2022-07-11)]

Steps to reproduce:
0) Make sure Adobe Reader is not installed but PDF.js is enabled.
1) Get a Windows Live account.
2) Log into Windows Live.
3) Go to Microsoft SkyDrive.
4) Upload a PDF to SkyDrive.
5) Once the SkyDrive Web UI shows the PDF, click it.

Actual results:
SkyDrive shows a dialog informing you that you don't have Adobe Reader installed, so the PDF cannot be viewed in the browser and can only be downloaded.

Expected results:
Expected to see the PDF rendered by PDF.js without any warning dialogs.

I uploaded a PDF file as "public" on my SkyDrive, and it now opens in "WordPdf" by default - there's no sign of this problem. Embedding and sharing also WFM:
