how to view pdf files without downloading them on firefox for android
I use an Electronic Medical Record program using Firefox for android on a a Samsung Galaxy Pro 12.2 tablet. I need to view patient pdf files on the tablet. So far, the only way I have been able to accomplish this is to download the file first. It would be more efficient if I could just view the pdf file on the Galaxy tablet without having to download it. Is it possible to do this with Firefox for android? Thanks.

Adobe never made a PDF plugin for Android. Which is what is needed to get the behavior you want. I have already listed the one option that comes closest.
The files are downloaded. Using a browser plugin does not prevent the data from being stored locally on your computer.

Not in any reliable manner. There is PDF.js but it has not been optimized for Firefox for Android. https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/#firefox
