Every time I try to open a zip-file using Firefox all it does is open new tabs. I end up with dozens, sometimes hundreds, of open tabs that have nothing on the pages and the file never gets opened. Why does this happen? Is there a way to fix it and if so, how?

Set Adobe Acrobat to handle PDF files, not Firefox.
