Using Firefox 86.0 on Big Sur 11.2 and I am trying to find out how to immediately open pdfs in a new tab on firefox when I am given the option to download them. This option was available as the first option on my previous windows computer under "Open with firefox" which automatically opens the pdf in a new tab.
However now all I get is this and even when I navigate to "other.." and select Firefox, a new Firefox window is launched instead of a tab.
Any fixes for this?
