Opening a PDF to view without downloading it.
In order to view a PDF, I cannot just open it, I must download it. I tried the solution offered by Jefferson Scher and it didn't work. I'm using the latest version 119 of Mozilla which I downloaded today. 10/26/23

It would be helpful to include links to other people's solutions to see what you have already tried and didn't work.
My proposed solution:
- Click on the Hamburger menu and open settings.
- In the search bar, search for 'pdf'
- Scroll down and click on Portable Document Format (PDF) under 'Applications' / column 'Content Type'. Then click on the drop down menu icon next to the PDF and select 'Open in Firefox'.
I tested it and I can open PDFs without downloading them.
Some sites make you download files instead of viewing them. Try installing InlineDisposition Reloaded.
