Firefox doesn't display PDFs in browser all of a sudden

I noticed earlier that all of a sudden I can't view PDFs files in Firefox. I tried plugins, updating Firefox and everything on my Mac, and any other options I could find but nothing seems to work. I installed the recommended plugin for viewing pdfs, but it just views a blank white page (instead of "missing plugin" that, when clicked, didn't give me any information).

Remove all other plugins you have installed for viewing PDFs and install Adobe reader

Make sure that in preferences – applications pdf-documents are set on "preview in firefox".
