Firefox downloads pdf automatically - this is maddening! It needs to open the page where the pdf is, leaving me the choice to download or not. Can I change setting so that Firefox either opens the page of opens the pdf? Many thanks

Many thanks for a pro answer.

Firefox should really by default present you with a dialog giving you the options in the first place instead of burying them...
