I went to a site and downloaded a .pdf. The next day I updated firefox and when I went to the same site later in the day, I clicked on the .pdf and it did not download or open. I am using firefox 12.0 and mac 10.6.8

Chosen solution

I found a recommendation in another thread:

If using a Mac, go to the Firefox Plugins and disable the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3. This is a recent plugin update, and as soon as it was installed I noticed that PDFs wouldn't download.
