When I try to print from Firefox, it opens a pdf in another window, not another tab
I have a website which generates a pdf that should normally open in another tab, but on this PC it opens in another window. On other PCs (same website, same Firefox version) it opens in another tab. Any ideas?
Thank you,

Mention: "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" is checked.
REFRESH INSTRUCTIONS Hi, please try a Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.

then
TEST....... If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested ..... Or it is your Profile : Make a new one and test ...:
If is your Profile :

Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
What does the user click to get the PDF? Is it simply
<a href="some.pdf" target="_blank">
or do you use window.open() or some other approach?

The websited generates a pdf that is saved locally and it appears automatically in the browser's tab
