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?

You don't have to change browsers Firefox can do this.
1. Click the menu button and choose Options. 2. Select the Applications panel. 3. Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it.
what do you see there? Is it save file?

Hope it helps.
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 :)
