PDF downloaded instead of shown in integrated PDF viewer
System: Windows 8.1 (64-Bit) Firefox: 57.0b6 (64-Bit)
I've configured Firefox to show PDFs using the integrated PDF viewer. But instead the download dialog pops up everytime I click on a PDF link.
What I've done so far:
- Checked settings - "Portable Document Format (PDF)" is configured to "Vorschau in Firefox"
- Made sure no other PDF addon is installed (just Bitwarden, Adguard and Translate Now)
- Made sure "pdfjs.disabled" option is set to "false"
- Made sure "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" option is set to ""
- Closed Firefox and deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file from the profile directory

hi, web servers can also specify that a file should get explicitly downloaded - you could try the following extension to work around that: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/always-preview-webextension/
