I installed the PDFjs plugin from Mozilla for Firefox. As the name suggests, this is a plugin for opening PDF files within the browser. It has been working really nicely for me and has opened some PDF links I tried just fine. I am using this on Linux, though it will probably work just fine on other OSes as well as it is written in Javascript apparently.

The description says it can't open some files, such as password-protected ones, but you are likely to download and open those locally anyway.

Unstable PDF reader plugins begone

My biggest gripe with these is that they seem to misunderstand html links to pdf specifics. Chrome's built in pdf browser, for instance, I always disable because of it's inability to correctly display and initiate dynamically generated PDFs. Glad it works for you though.
