Opening multiple PDFs at once

Firefox PDFs

I use Firefox as my default program for opening PDFs. But if I try to open more than one at the same time it will always leave one out and instead open a "New Tab" that I don't need. Can't figure out why or how to fix it.

Example: If I check (windows 11) files A, B, C, D, and E. It will open A, B, D, & E and a "New Tab" and leave out C.

Any Solutions?

I don't see a bug filed for this; it would be interesting to understand if it's PDF–specific, or unrelated reproducing for any local files for you.

If you have e.g. five .html files locally and open all of these at once, do you also get some of the tabs dropped? (You can save basically this page: https://example.net/ as a local .html if you don't have any.)

Does it happen only when you click/enter these PDF files to let the system default association handler figure these out, or the same exhibits if you drag and drop the multiple files to the Firefox icon too?
