Opening multiple PDFs at once
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?

Hii! I will try my best to help you!
It sounds like the glitch is because Windows 11 sends file-open commands to Firefox faster than the browser can process them, causing one command to misfire as a blank browser signal. When you select and open multiple files simultaneously, Windows executes a rapid chain of requests. Don’t worry! You can resolve this issue.
Change Firefox's External Link Behavior (Recommended) You can fix this by changing a hidden configuration rule in Firefox that tells the browser how to strictly manage external file requests sent by Windows 11. - Open Firefox, type about:config into the address bar, and press Enter. - Click the Accept the Risk and Continue warning button. - In the search preference box at the top, paste: browser.link.open_newwindow.override.externalThe preference is likely set to -1 by default. - Click the Pencil icon on the right side of the row to edit it. Change the number value to 3, then click the Checkmark to save it.
Note: Setting this to 3 forces Windows to cleanly inject every single document link directly into a structured layout of new tabs, preventing the dropped file/blank tab loop.
I hope this helps!
