Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
After downloading a .pdf file, I went to FILE>OPEN FILE, and selected the downloaded file to open. When I selected the file to Open, it tried to "SAVE AS" and overwrite itself.

Firefox doesn't handle PDF files nativelly, so it will ask to either Save or Open using an external application, unless it is configured to always Save PDF files. To change this configuration enter in: Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Filetypes -> Manage and remove the PDF form the list.
