Disable automatic download when I open a pdf link

[angel308096168i1y]

Hello, I googled it but did not find any solution on this...when I click on a pdf link, it opens in reader but it also downloads it self... I need to turn this off and to be able to choose to download it myself IF I want to...

it is so difficult to sort and clean every pdf I opened during the day when I prepare to leave my office... I have to reopen everything again and see which one I need and which one I don't.. a lot of extra work...

is there any way to turn these automatic downloads off???

thanks in advance

What browser are you using?

Firefox... is it browser issue?

It's a browser setting, yes. Press Alt to show the menu bar, then select Tools - Settings - General and scroll down to the Applications section. There enter "pdf" in the search bar. Change the Action associated with the format to "Open in Firefox". Keep in mind that by doing so you will not be using Adobe Reader to view the file, and the FF plugin is sub-par to Reader and has issues with form fields and scripts.
