In a php upload file I have inserted: 

if($_FILES['file']['type'] !="application/pdf"){ echo "Should be PDF";}

exit; Even when trying to upload a PDF file the error message comes: Should be PDF. Earlier this worked fine. Maybe a bug in an update? Regards, pluys

I think I found part of a solution now. It is not Firefox, it is some add-on or plug-in. I myself use a lot of add-ons. I asked someone who was new to Firefox to load up a PDF file. There was no problem! So now I'm going to check all my add-ons, hoping it is not Firebug. All the best, Pluys
