Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150403141803

Steps to reproduce:

First, set your system to open PDF files in Firefox by default.
Then in Firefox itself, Preferences > Applications:
set PDF to system action "Open with Firefox Web Browser (default)" instead of natively "Preview in Firefox", and finally open a PDF file.


Actual results:

When Firefox opens the file, it calls the system action to open in itself and falls into an infinite loop by reopening the file in a new tab.


Expected results:

Of course this error is logical, but Firefox should display the PDF normally, as it would when set to "Preview in Firefox", by recognizing the system already called it.
