    If you have upgraded the Acrobat Reader 9 to your computer and still you are unable to open the PDF from your browser then it might be possible that your browser is not yet set for the opening PDF in association with the Acrobat Reader 9. So just open the Adobe reader and the Go to the Edit menu from there just select the preference and select the internet section and check the Display PDF in browser. Thanks

    If your Firefox browser is unable to open the PDF then check for the setting that Firefox is set up with the PDF or not for that just Go to the tools menu and then to the Options. Now Click on the Application tab and then to the content type : PDF. IF it is there then check for the permission that it is allowed to work with the Firefox or not.

    "PDF Download" is the extension of the Mozilla Firefox which helps for managing the PDF you can use this to open the PDF file. Regain control and eliminate browser problems, view PDFs directly in Firefox as HTML, and use the all-new Web-to-PDF toolbar to save and share Web pages as high-quality PDF files. So give a try to this add on.
