User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0 Build ID: 20180323154952 Steps to reproduce: Firefox 59.0.2 for Win10. Open a pdf either from internet. Dialog box asks "download or view in Firefox". Choose "view in Firefox" Actual results: Pdf appears in new tab. Icons in upper right for Full Screen, Print, and Open in New Tab(?), but NO download icon Expected results: There was always a download icon so that you didn't need to go to the website twice in order to get a copy after viewing. Note that opening a local pdf also has same result.
Only happens when you get the pop-up box asking about file handling. Where website asks to view or download, selecting view DOES show the download icon. In other words, when using the pop-up box asking about file handling, selecting "view in Firefox" results in the file being treated as local, and thus no download icon. Having now seen this distinction, I can't say whether or not this is new behavior.
I also get your Actual results on Windows 10 64bit with Firefox 59.0.2(2018-04-26) and Nightly 61.0a1 (2018-04-05) (64-bit) . In my view, that is also the expected result for me. We might have different settings, so could you provide the following additional details: - the website example where you get the behavior? - what is the setting for: Hamburger Menu/ Applications / 'Portable Document Format (PDF)' - (default is preview) - when you say download icon, do you refer to the Adobe Download icon or the Firefox Download icon: would be best if you could add a screenshot

Hi joelfishman.pmet1, I tested this and here are my steps: Please test this issue after following this steps: 1. Right click on the "Tab bar" 2. Select "Customize" 3. Click on the "Download icon" from the top right corner 4. Uncheck the "Auto-hide" option Can you please retest this issue following the steps mentioned above? Thanks

Sorry, I think I misunderstood the bug specification of the "Download icon" placement. I thought you mean "Download icon" of the browser instead of the Adobe Download icon. Can you please clarify this? Also I verified the download button near the print button from the PDF view on Windows 10 X64 with Firefox 61.0a1(2018-04-22) and I cannot reproduce it.

Can you please clarify this? > Also I verified the download button near the print button from the PDF view > on Windows 10 X64 with Firefox 61.0a1(2018-04-22) and I cannot reproduce it. First, in reply to your advise on un-hiding the download icon in the tab bar, I have never had such an icon in the tab bar, I don't see one under "customize", and so have no option to modify it. Second, I am referring to the built-in, mozilla supplied PDF viewer window, which has its own sub-frame which usually contains 4 icons in the upper right corner. These are (from left to right), Copy/Open in new window, Download, Print, Switch to Presentation Mode. Here is a url with what I consider "normal" behavior (i.e. all 4 icons) https://regmedia.co.uk/2018/02/02/nunes-fisa-memo.pdf The counter example can be seen when opening a PDF on the local file system. If you've selected Firefox as the default app for PDF, you double click the local PDF, and it opens in Firefox, but without the Download icon in the PDF sub-frame. This makes sense, because why would one want to download something that's already on the local file system? The problem is that you also get this behavior with certain remote PDF's. I see this consistently on sites where the link to get the PDF generates a browser pop-up window asking for which app to use to view the file (with the default choice being Firefox, so it knows it's already set to default there). I also see this where the website generates its own pop-up asking if you want to view or download. If you choose view, a new tab appears with the PDF, but (sometimes) no download icon. This is consistent behavior with T-Mobile's site when accessing personal statements, and EZPass in the same circumstance. This is NOT the behavior of earlier Firefox builds, which always showed the download icon. Why does this matter? When working properly, you can view a PDF and save it locally from one screen without having to go back and access the PDF a second time in order to save it. This is non-trivial, because on some of these sites the PDF is being built on the fly, so it means waiting around twice for the same file to be generated.

I verified this issue on Windows 10 x64 with Firefox 61.0a1(2018-04-24) and I cannot reproduce it. Please see the attached file with my results.

Did you not read my long-winded post? The URL I gave you is one that WORKS PROPERLY, so of course it doesn't show the bug. Here is a URL that causes the open-or-download pop-up. Click the "Download" button on the page, and you'll get the pop-up. If you choose "Open in Firefox" rather than download, you do NOT get a download icon in the PDF sub-frame. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56846
Thanks for the clear steps. Based on Comment8 I manage to reproduced this issue on Windows 10 64bit with FF 61.0a1 (2018-05-02) (64-bit).
