This behavior started some time ago - 3 or more major FF updates ago.
When on a website - like a credit card site - and I want to open a statement to review it - rather than just opening the statement in my PDF reader - FF is also downloading it to the folder set in my settings. I don't want to automatically download these PDFs, just view them.
The above is an example - this behavior happens on any website with any PDF document, article, etc.
In FF settings > Downloads > I have chosen "Always ask where to save files"
In Applications > PDF > I have "Use Nitro Reader"
In What to do with other files > I have "Always ask whether to open of save"
I don't see any other standard settings that would address this.
What do I need to do to get FF to behave as I want?
