1) Recently it is impossible to open pdf files when attached to emails. The file must be saved first and then open....this is very cumbersome, time wasting and annoying Please fix it asap .... incentive to change email software

2) When opening a file attached to an email to be sent , normally docx,xls etc the program crashes, with apologies !!!! Again, this is a recent phenomemon

Overall Thunderbird has become less friedly

What prevents you from opening attached PDFs directly?

Do you have a crash ID?

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.

You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).
