User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0 Build ID: 20150911195927 Steps to reproduce: Fire handles different pdf downloads in three different ways. I chose in line viewer for standard. Actual results: This PDF firefox handles in the right way: http://medienkompetenz-sh.de/www.schleswig-holstein.de/Medienkompetenz/DE/Medienkompetenztag_2015/Plakat_Medienkompetenztag_2015.pdf This PDF firefox offers download or standard mime viewer http://de.jimdo.com/app/download/10080751495/Hamburger%20Startup%20Jimdo%20gewinnt%20deutschen%20Gr%C3%BCnderpreis.pdf?t=1438184527 This PDF firefox offers download or standard mime text editor http://ads-sylt.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Planungsliste.pdf Expected results: PDF file should be opened in the way you select in preferences (in line or standard mime viewer but never in standard text editor). This bug infects many version on different linux machines like gentoo or ubuntu.

@Reporter - Is this still an issue? I do not have permission to access the document "http://medienkompetenz-sh.de/www.schleswig-holstein.de/Medienkompetenz/DE/" Please provide me with steps to simulate what you are attempting to do so that I may reproduce. Thanks

Michelle click on the first link in my first comment. It needs two lines. http://medienkompetenz-sh.de/www.schleswig-holstein.de/Medienkompetenz/DE/Medienkompetenztag_2015/Plakat_Medienkompetenztag_2015.pdf

I can not decide if this an issue which should be solved. Aleksej gave the reason for the different behaviour. It is not comfortable for the user.
