Why does Firefox 4 not let you save a pdf document using the "File" tab. Internet Explorer * give you an option..."Save as....". Can I get same function with FF4?

Clicking "Save Page As..." in the Firefox menu should work fine. However, if the server you are downloading from is set up incorrectly, Firefox might recommend a filename which does not have the ".pdf" extension (e.g. "get_file.php"). In this case type ".pdf" at the end of the file name.
