I have also suffer this problem for a while. Today I tried deactivating extension 'PDF Download' . I restarted the browser ... and the problem is OVER.

I had this problem and managed to fix it.

I went to the "Add-ons Manager" in Firefox then to the "Plugins" tab. I then disabled the Adobe Acrobat plugin and all other pdf plugins. This fixed my problems.
