No Print dialog when opening pdf, just saves files

Win 7, Firefox, Adobe Reader are all latest versions. All of a sudden, whenever I try to open a pdf from the internet, the computer automatically tries to save it, not allow me to open in viewer and print. After I navigate to saved file I can print it, but this is cumbersome at best. I made no changes to any defaults, but I am unable to find a fix for this. Any help greatly appreciated.

    The Adobe PDF plugin is no longer compatible with Firefox (or Chrome), so if you want to use Adobe software to open and print a PDF file you must first save it on the local machine, you can't open it directly in the browser window. It can be a temporary file, though. It depends on your browser settings.
