Open PDFs in new tab
Hi! I have set this option pdfjs.externalLinkTarget to 2, but despite that setup, all PDFs are open in the same tab of the PDF download link, that's a problem for me because, for instance, my home banking account losses the session if anything external is loaded, so when I click Firefox back arrow, the home banking session expires.
How can I set to open PDFs in Firefox in new tab?
Thanks!

Try downloading another copy of Firefox, run it from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
When I open pdfs from my bank, here is what I have set and what happens. see screenshot
Evidently this will be fixed in version 101.

Can you right-click and ask to open in a new tab?

Thanks for sharing! It partially solved my issue, because I still want to use native pdfjs on firefox, but it seems to fail.
Temporary work around still appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks! will wait to that release and see what happens
It's already out. Just try Dev, Beta, or Nightly. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
