I will close this as there is still the open earlier question with responses

I need a way to auto DOWNLOAD and OPEN PDF files. If I select "DOWNLOAD" firefox only saves the file, I need two mouse clicks to open the PDF. If I select "OPEN WITH" firefox just open the file, but doent save it in the download folder. I need to do in a sigle operation "DOWNLOAD" and "OPEN WITH". Thanks

Several options here.

  • Download the file in Firefox, then use Save As
  • Download using Firefox. In the Download Manager, right click the file and select Display File. When the download is finished, open it.

This is all under normal conditions.

Note: by using Firefox to display the on-line file, the file is downloaded to a temporary folder. But it may not have a file name you would under- stand. Plus, at some point, temp files are deleted.

Last option; Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
