Hello,

Many times during the day, I need to download some pdf files. But I want to save them on my computer AND at the same time open them ! Firefox lets me just download (OR open) them. Then I need to manually go to the download bar to open them. In summary, I have to make several clicks for nothing each time ! This is making me mad ;(

Thanks in advance ;) David ps: in order to locate where to implement this suggestion please see the second image of this webpage https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file

You can submit that suggestion to Mozilla on this page - https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback - or by using Help > Submit Feedback... from within Firefox. The Mozilla developers rarely, if ever, visit this forum.

If you open the PDF file in an external application (e.g. Adobe Reader) or use the built-in PDF Viewer then you should be able to save a copy of this file in that application.
