>From Firefox, on one PC, a PDF is shown correctly embed in the HTML page, as I have designed it. On another PC, when the user accesses that page, from the same browser, the PDF is sent as a download. Anyone would know what could be in effect here?

Some possibilities:

1. As of version 19 FireFox has a built-in PDF reader, so that or later versions should open the PDF in the browser. Earlier versions won't do that by default

2. On the "download" machine, the browser not having any plugin (e.g. Acrobat Reader) registered to handle PDF content in FireFox

3. Antivirus/antimalware software preventing direct opening of potentially malicious PDFs
