Unable to open .pdf file in Firefox

I'm trying to open a .pdf in Firefox but each time I try to a new tab comes up and I get a pop-up asking me if I want to open the file or save it. If I choose to open it with Firefox it does the same thing again and again and again, never opening the file.

What in the Hell is going on here? I know Firefox is capable of open .pdfs, I've done so before. I just don't know why I'm no longer able to.

I have NoScript but I have no idea if or how to let it stay but allow .pdfs. Other than looking it over I still can't figure out what my problem is, I still can't open them.

Alright, disabling NoScript still didn't fix it.

I even tried this out and it still doesn't work: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1130130

This is incredibly irritating, I'm tired of using Adobe Reader to see .pdfs.
