When browsing in a html-file and there is a link to a pdf-file I simply want to
open that file in a new window with acrobat. 
Instead Firefox opens first a blank browser window that stays resistent even
when I close the acrobat. Also I do not care to see a download manager, but I
have tried all settings with download manger and tabs - that stupid blank
browser window keeps on poping up.
