Could you put a note in the link title when it's a PDF?
(Or recommend a Firefox plugin that can open them rather than download :)

I didn't realise Adobe Reader didn't work on a Mac!

Try this? http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/

I was confused to. There are numerous mentions of Adobe Reader not working as a plugin for Firefox Mac, but some of the pages seem to be out of date. I'm confused, frankly.

> PDF support is built-in to the OS,

Yup.

> In Firefox, I just set it to automatically open them in Preview.

Yeah, but I'd rather be warned upfront that I'm going to have a bouncy dock icon and then a download window open and then another application opening and then a file to trash from my downloads folder...

Chrome on the other hand opens them in a browser tab. I'm sure FF used to do that too -- I possibly removed the Adobe PDF browser plugin because it was crappy and crashed.
