OS: Mac OS 10.14.5 Firefox Version: 113.0.2
Settings gives me multiple options for handling a .pdf file. The first three are (1) Open in Firefox; (2) Always ask; and (3) Save File.
If I select "Open in Firefox," the file will open in my existing window. If I select "Save File," the file downloads to my desktop.
The problem arises when I select "Always ask." If I then select "Open in Firefox," the file opens (in a new tab!) and simultaneously downloads to my desktop!
Is this a system glitch, or am I somehow doing something wrong?
