Open PDF on Firefox

I've worked on my website for month, and after a while I've restarted. And I have a page where I can upload file and open them in a viewer. With Chrome I don't have any problem, everything works just fine! But when I try it on Firefox, it just downloaded.

Is there a way to open PDF on mozilla instead on downloading?

Thanks for anyone who can clarify this for me!

How do I force files to open in the browser instead of downloading (PDF)?

If you want to set your own Firefox to open PDFs:

By default, Firefox should display PDFs inline unless your website has explicitly told it to download the file rather than open it.

If you go to the Firefox URL bar and type in about:config and press enter, then once you pass the warning notice at the top you will need to type in browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline and change this setting from default false to true.

You should also confirm that browser.shell.setDefaultPDFHandler.onlyReplaceBrowsers setting is also set to true.

Exit and then retry. PDFs should now open inside the browser itself rather than any 3rd party reader.

If you want to set so any browser that visits your website views PDF inline:
