Safari 6 not opening .pdf files

New Mac, fresh install of Mountain Lion

When I click to open a .Pdf from a web page,while in Safar, I get a black window

Nothing opens in Preview or in Acrobat

No option to download


The same item opens easily in FireFox into Acrobat


My hunch is that some plugins did not migrate when I moved from old MacbookPro to brand new one

How do I fix?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), Hubby'siMac 20" 2009 ,10.6.6. 2 Gig RAM

"The second check would be to look in your home directory in the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and ensure it is empty."


Bear with me, I know little about computers. So I'm having this problem and I am trying to fix it, I see that this seemed to help everyone... I'm having trouble finding this folder


I don't know how to remove this plugin to see if it'll fix my issue :/
