I would choose to use Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro for pdf files. I myself have Acrobat Pro as default for all and any related pdf files. I find Adobe does pdf far better then others. It does cost unless you use the free Acrobat Reader but even then that is better then the alternative.

But thats not a solution to the bug itself. You are just suggesting another method about how to view pdf files. In other word you are avoiding the bug but not solving it.

(This bug needs code adjustment to firefox)

Well FF isn't native to pdf files reading anyway that in itself is a bug to start with. PDF is a adobe format to begin with. Avoiding it or not I never use it to read something when Acrobat is made for pdf. But if that was a bug then you need to do a Reporting of Bugs to support on Feedback to fix it.

Note that you should never choose Firefox as the application to handle a file when you get an 'open with' dialog. Firefox wouldn't ask when it can handle this file type and setting Firefox as the default (always use...) will cause tabs opening endlessly. You will have to remove this action.

Also check the setting for Portable Document Format in "Options/Preferences -> General -> Applications"

Is the builtin PDF Viewer enabled?

more options

Usually if Firefox shows the download dialog, that means Firefox can't open the download in a tab. With PDFs, it's possible to configure Firefox to do it, but please use the method cor-el described, not the applications list under Open in the download dialog.
