I primarily use Firefox Browser but occasionally use Edge for better printing of certain document files, so I open specific files in Edge when necessary. I save files in the Edge One Drive. When opening them in File Explorer from One Drive documents, I prefer them to open in Firefox unless explicitly opened with Edge.

  • How can I ensure that all my documents consistently open in Firefox instead of Edge?
  • I'm uncertain if this topic accurately describes my question.

I'm viewing a pdf that seems to be made of stacked images. While viewing this pdf in firefox it has these black lines between images, as seen in attachment, these change slightly as I zoom in. These lines do not appear when viewing the pdf in brave, see other attachment.

Also, this happens both on my desktop and laptop that have very different firefox setups.

How can I fix this without fixing the pdf?

How could I even fix the pdf?

How can we further specify the actions that Firefox can take when dealing with PDF files?

Unfortunately, my workflow involves dealing with multiple PDF files per day. However, for some reason, Firefox's behavior with regards to PDF files is inconsistent.

  • If I set the Action to Save File, Firefox downloads all PDF files, including those that it can normally open in the browser when I click a link (e.g. files hosted in servers that allow direct access to PDF files). As such, my Downloads folder is cluttered and needs to be cleaned regularly to delete the PDF files that were downloaded even if I could have opened them in the browser.
  • If I set the Action to Open in Firefox, Firefox can now open those hosted PDF files in the browser instead of downloading them to disk. However, every time I download a file, Firefox then opens the file in Firefox after downloading, even though I need to edit the PDF file somewhere else.

Would it be possible to set Firefox's behavior so that it does BOTH of these things:

  1. Open PDF files that can be opened in the browser without downloading in Firefox without needing to be downloaded, AND
  2. Do not open downloaded PDF files in Firefox after downloading is complete.
