Any PDF file you view is saved to the computer, there's no way around that. It can be as a temporary file, though. That is handled by your browser's settings.

I save it to my computer and then open it using Acrobat Reader. But I want to avoid having to save it first and be able open it directly. Currently there doesn't seem to be an option to do this, but previously there was.
