I frequently use a website that provides documents in PDF form. In the past when I selected a document to view it would open the PDF in the browser window. I must have changed a setting at some point and now it opens a save window to download the document. I need to figure out how to change that back.

Hi, go to the 3-bar menu > Options (General) > Applications, then select Portable Document Format, and under the Action heading, select Open in Firefox.

Thank you so much. I knew it was an easy fix but am too busy to spend time to figure it out on my own!
