That's somewhat interesting, on my laptop (Win 7) I still have Firefox
38.0.5 and if you have it configured to do so, 38.0.5 will also handle
.pdf files.  (No PDF addons/extensions are installed).

Options-Applications is where you do the config.

Additionally interesting...

My Puppy Linux install has Firefox 33.0 and if configured so, can handle
.pdf files natively.  (No PDF addons/extensions are installed).
