I have followed all the steps that I could find and still no answer.

When I go to open/edit a pdf in firefox, it opens the file AND downloads it. I have to use some form of adobe viewer so that I can edit the files and save them. But I dont want to have to download every file that I open.

I need some help.

Hi, please see under the heading If PDF files are downloaded instead of displayed, try these solutions, in this article - View PDF files using Firefox’s built-in viewer.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
