    When I click on a PDF...

    When I click on a PDF on a website (on my home PC) instead of opening the file to view, it automatically is downloaded to desktop. How can I correct this?

    What happens if you right click on the link and select "open in new window"?

    It still downloads the PDF to desktop. Same if I open in a new tab. You're a Sheriff - help!

    Fred,

    Seems to be resolved, many thanks.
    A combination of your link and Mozilla's latest update - most odd!

    However - we have CLOSURE!

    Thanks

    Peter
