How to view inline PDFs on Firefox?
My Firefox browser is the latest version. It’s sure that the PDFs are set as Preview in Firefox, but after opening a page, it emerges ‘ This browser dose not support inline PDFs. Pleases download the PDF and view it. ‘ I don’t know what happened, please help fix it.

No. I am using Firefox on windows 8.
Moving to desktop.
I don't have a specific solution. Checking if any of the troubleshooting options help https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems
Hi dalun, does this problem only occur with PDFs embedded into other pages, or also PDFs that load in their own tab, such as:
https://www.jeffersonscher.com/temp/userChrome_css.pdf
In case Firefox can't load a PDF in its own tab, could you try switching it between Always Ask, Save File, and Preview in Firefox? Please close the Options page and re-open it in between changes.

The problem only occurs while opening embedded PDFs.
It's probably the way the page is designed. It may be checking for a PDF plugin and displaying the message if it doesn't find one. Can you give a link to an example page where this happens?
The builtin Firefox PDF viewer only works for files send by the server as application/pdf.
