"Always Ask Where To Save Files" Doesn't DO ANYTHING for files that open in-browser
My settings: Downloads: save files to: [custom default folder, unimportant] Always ask you where to save files: ENABLED
Applications: PDFs: Open In Firefox (because when the browser has such a nice built-in pdf viewer of course I would like to use it)
Expected behavior: Browser will open the dialog box for where to save the pdf, save the pdf, then open it in the in-browser viewer from the location it just saved to. Or possibly: save the file to TEMP and then open it in browser, I can see the argument for that behavior, though it wouldn't be my first instinct.
Actual behavior: Browser blindly saves the pdf to the specified default folder, then opens it in the in-browser viewer.
What is the actual point of the ALWAYS ask checkbox here? From what I can find extant on the forums the devs somehow don't seem to consider this a bug, so does anyone know how to wrangle the config page and/or some kind of extension into producing the actual logical behavior for these settings?

now, when you say "do anything" what exactly do you mean?
but, to answer your query i think the portable document reader in browsers is a module and separate from the main browser logic. i wouldn't expect a setting like that to apply as the module would have its own file-save subroutine. does that make sense?
