      When I click on a hyperlink to a pdf file, instead of opening a new tab to preview the PDF file, it downloads. And I have indeed toggled the "Open PDF's in Chromium" option (as shown in the image below).f7c885f9-b629-42e0-9f70-244edde9d0d1-image.png What do I do?

        @blazinglunatic Can depend on the server too. If the server is set up to download, that's what the browser will do.
