I am on Mac OS X version 10.1.4. This started in the last week or so. I believe something changed with a recent update. I need to access PDF files from websites, meaning I need to click on those links and download files.

Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.

  • Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader

PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.
