<![CDATA[Turning off automatic downloads]]>Hi there,

whenever I want Opera to open a pdf-document as a tab or window, it just downloads it instead. Is there any way of turning that off?

Furthermore, if you wish Opera not to download files without your permission, open Opera Settings (opera://settings) and tick the box that says Opera should ask you where to save each file that is downloaded.
