Why am I unable to open PDF links in Mozilla?

I have noticed that I can no longer click a link on a website and open a PDF, either in the same or in a new browser window. Here is an example of some typical html markup: <a href="information.pdf" target="_blank">Download information</a>, which works in every other modern browser except Mozilla, where it used to work until a few months ago.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't believe any additional action or plugin should be necessary in order for users to download or view a PDF when browsing with Mozilla. I prefer to use Mozilla but I find I have to switch browsers because of this issue.

Solved! PDF was set to "Save File", so I switched it to "Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox", which, once activated, works perfectly. Thank you so much for your help :)
