Hi,

I'm using Firefox 21 and it's up to date. My OS is win 7 and it's up to date.

When I try some links to pdf files, I can view them in Firefox using the Adobe plug-in. Other pdf file links will make firefox ask me if I want to open using Adobe Acrobat or save the file.

For example, this link can be viewed in Firefox using the Adobe plug-in.

http://static.mozilla.com/moco/en-US/pdf/mozilla_privacypolicy.pdf

However, this link tries to make me either save the file or view it externally in Adobe Acrobat

Please let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,

It's the standard behavior because the first link has the .pdf-ending and the other link doesn't. In the second link is an option set(Content-Disposition attachment;filename=<<filename>>.pdf). This option says to the Browser, that the file has to be downloaded as an attachement. I don't know, if it works with .pdf-Files, but you can try to install the "Open in Browser"-Add-on. It will show you another option in the Save file-Dialog which opens you the file in the browser. I hope i could help you.
