I think you need to give us some details. What architecture? 32-bit/64-bit? What version of Firefox? What package owns nppdf.so and what version is that package? How are your MIME type handlers set up in Firefox for PDF files? etc. I use Okular for viewing PDF on ~amd64 and can view files downloaded with Firefox just fine.
