PDF not opening in browser Mac
Until FF 36 I had a plugin to open pdf in browser. But I notice the PC version didn't need it. Now the plug in no longer works on the Mac and neither do any others. Every single PDF downloads. It appears the Mac users have been left out of whatever changed, because its not an issue on the PC I use at work.
How do I get this feature back? I really need it. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Does the built-in PDF Viewer work?
See:
No. That's what I assume is different between the PC and the Mac...on the PC it works. They also have the exact same plugins.
The Adobe Reader plugin may not work properly on Mac and the recommendation in the past was to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application.
Note that there are other things that may need attention.
Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts. The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click). The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Now wait...are you saying all mac users are now doomed to never be able to open in the browser? Before we had plugins that worked and now they don't. Please tell me you aren't implying Mac users just got tossed under the bus....
