Finally found a fix how to stop firefox downloading each PDF to your local drive
(connect.mozilla.org)
A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
For me it still downloads and then opens it in firefox. In the description it clearly says: Choose how Firefox handles the files you download from the web (...). And I don't want it to download the file to my disk in the first place just store it in chache like a regular website.
it doesn't download them for me, unless I explicitly save the PDF that opens
like this example.
(akhtually it'll always download in order to open it, I just mean it doesn't create a PDF in the downloads directory)
Which firefox version are you on? I'm on 122.0b1 (flatpak beta) and changing these settings just defines what happens after I download the file. Also my download folder is set to ~/Downloads
121.0 stable, .deb from Firefox's ppa
interesting
Wait do you download the files to you /tmp dir? Or do you store the files in the browser cache?
my downloads dir is
~/downloads/
but Firefox doesn't create a file there, so it must use a temp location for the PDF that opens.
