I am running 129.0.2 (64-bit) and I found an issue reported in October 2023 with version 119. I want to view a PDF file. Each time I click on the link (I am using Ravelry.com and this is NOT their issue. It is only in Firefox [Chrome & Edge don't do this]), the PDF is shown in a new tab AND downloaded, so if I open the PDF twice-just to test-the file is also downloaded-twice. I had it set to view in firefox, but it STILL downloads AND opens the view. I switched to ask every time and it opens the file AND downloads the file. When will Mozilla fix this flaw? I don't need 50 million copies of the file! AND If I don't want the PDF, I'm still stuck with the file.
