When opening .pdf files, I have set 'Always ask' in Preferences > General > Applications so I can choose whether to browse a .pdf in Firefox or download it. However, when I then choose 'Open with Firefox' in the ask prompt, the file is downloaded as well. This does not happen if I choose 'Open with Firefox' as the default behavior in Preferences > General > Applications. Can anyone provide a fix for this?

If you are certain of that, it may suit you to take advantage of an apparent exception. If so minded, you could file a bug report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
