Newly downloaded and installed Firefox doesn't have Portable Document File format option in the Content Type listing. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 11 which is working fine parallely. The Plug-in's and Add-Ons have all been set correctly.

Basic issue, not able to view PDF files via Firefox

It may be possible to add one or set the preference on which app to open. Firefox's default is the pdf.js viewer. Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files

You can rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
