Can't set PDF to open automatically with a bash script

We have a cloud system that allows us to open labels as a PDF. I have a bash script that examines the PDF and sends it to the correct printer. The PDF is sent after a button is pressed in a form with target="_blank"

I have therefore set PDFs to open with this bash script in Preferences > Applications

However, every time I press the button to generate the PDF I get a dialogue dox asking "What should Firefox do with this file". The bash script is selected by default and all I have to do is press OK, but even though "do this automatically" is checked, I get the confirmation box every time.

I would like the script to be opened automatically without the dialogue box appearing- how can I do this? The headers the cloud server sends are:

< HTTP/1.1 200 200

If I alter content-disposition to inline it works fine
