The android version of firefox has a problem the displays a bar asking to download an open pdf whether the pdf is already downloaded or not. There's no option to turn off this bar that ends up blocking a lot of screen space. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for looking into this.

Can you attach a screenshot? Thanks.

Sure here is an example: one pdf opened from a website, then downloaded and opened. I can keep opening the downloaded pdf, but it still asks to download again. It basically keeps saving a copy every time I click download, even if the file is saved locally. My question is why is this not able to be removed once a file is downloaded?
