How can I prevent Firefox from opening PDFs sent as attachments, but keep previewing when inline?

I want to be able to view inline PDFs in the browser, and download PDFs sent as attachments, without opening them in Firefox. I've searched the forum, tried different combinations of download settings and toggling `browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline` but no dice, either Firefox downloads every file (inline or attached), or it opens the local file in the browser.

I respect that the PDF viewer in Firefox is great, and I want to keep using it when I choose. Right now, I have a download progress that pops up, then the browser becomes unresponsive and switches to the new tab, which is disrupting.

Seems simple but how can I have the following behaviour? - Inline PDF -> view in browser - Attachment -> download without opening in browser

I recently bought a new computer and synced my Firefox profile. Bookmarks and other items have synced, but only two of my add-ons (extensions) are syncing from the old computer. I'd love to be able to sync them all especially because one of the add-ons is no longer available and I use it frequently. Is there a different way to bring the extensions form the old computer to the new one?

Thank you for your help.

USING: Mac Sequoia 15.0 and Firefox 130.0.1

This started when I updated to OS15.0. I usually keep many Firefox windows open and park them on the dock when I'm not using them...they have always been visible on my dock. After opening Firefox, I see all the windows load, then disappear into the Firefox app on my dock. I can't find or retrieve them, so I don't know where they are. Weird and frustrating! Any suggestions??
