How do I stop Firefox from automatically opening any PDF I download?
Under Settings -> Applications, PDF is set to save file, yet every time I download a PDF, it is automatically opened and not by the windows default program associated with PDFs. How do I stop this from happening?

Type ‘about:config’ into the Firefox address bar, search for ‘browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline’, and set its value to ‘false’.
