error downloading adobe files

more options

i have been using fire fox for a while. I am a college student so i end up downloading a lot of research articles. but recently when i download anything that (particularly adobe files) fire fox starts repeatedly downloading the file and opening a new tab for each download 60+ if i dont shut the program down. And i cannot view the file that i have downloaded. not sure if this is a settings error or what. would love some incite if anyone has had this type of issue.

My guess is that you have an incorrect setting for Content Type - PDF.
