I have set the setting for PDF files to Always Ask. When I select the "Open in Firefox" option from the dialog, it opens the PDF in a new tab in Firefox and ALSO launches Adobe Acrobat and opens there. I have not seen this bizarre behavior before today. How do I fix it?

It's Adobe Acrobat issue, in their options find something like "Always open PDFs downloaded from the web".

Thanks! What's weird is that usually I use the Save option, and (despite what that option says in Acrobat), those are never opened automatically, but only the ones that Acrobat shouldn't even be able to notice.
