Firefox is automatically downloading EVERY pdf I open for reading DESPITE my Settings overriding this.
I recently noticed that EVERY pdf I open for reading is being saved in my computer's Downloads folder! DESPITE my Settings "Ask where to save files before downloading" and "Ask to open or save files." I am enrolled in an online certification program: There is LOTS of reading. LOTS of information being shared through the class portal. I just discovered this mess a couple of weeks ago.
Today, I added a check mark to Other Files under Settings: "Delete private window downloads on close." I'm hoping this will resolve the problem. Am I missing something??? WHY is my longtime browser doing me like this?
FYI: I'm using the Windows 11 OS on my six-year-old laptop. My Firefox (152.0.5) stays current.

Is it perhaps similar to this? support.mozilla.org/questions/1592062
If the question is more in terms of why downloads instead of just opening online that's for the server to decide, if they're forcing the downloads, e.g. support.mozilla.org/questions/1584351
(Some low–level info can be found in support.mozilla.org/questions/1566610 if you prefer opening things from temp folders that should get clean up by your system periodically…)
