Firefox should open a dialog where you can download the PDF

Hi Stefan,
You can go to about:preferences#general and scroll down to the Applications section, then set the Action for PDFs on Always Ask/Save File that way the pdf files won't be automatically opened in Firefox.

Thanks for this. Marking as FIXED since this what we'll need to do to avoid opening PDFs directly in Firefox. Please feel free to re-open if needed.
