Explain how to prevent this problem from occurring. This doesn't happen if I use a Chrome browser for the same pdf. My OS is Linux.

Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue.

Any pdf? What OS or Distro? X11 or Wayland?
