How to get a PDF to open in browser?

New Here ,
Jan 02, 2021 Jan 02, 2021

PDFs used to open in my browser whenever I clicked on them.  For a long time now they go to My Downloads and I have to open them from there.  Is there any setting to change that will make it open into my browser??   I'm using Firefox on Windows 10.   Thanks!

This is a setting of the browser, it has nothing to do with Adobe. You can set it by going to Tools - Options - Applications and then search for "pdf", and change the action associated with the file types that appear in the list to "Open in Firefox". Note that if you do that it will mean you're not viewing them using Adobe software, but with Firefox's internal PDF plugin, which has some problems, especially when it comes to form fields, scripts and XFA forms.
