I read the local paper online and the individual pages present themselves as .pdf files. With the Firefox for Android NON beta clicking on said file downloadable ads it and automatically calls up the default .pdf reader which opens the page. Some recent change in the Beta version simply downloads the file. I then have to manually click to open. Tried clearing defaults on both Firefox and the Kindle app, force stopping both, all to no avail.....suggestions?

the change was made in firefox 25 - that's why you're currently seeing this behaviour only in firefox beta. the general release for firefox 25 is scheduled for next week.
i originally also thought to recommend the pdf.js-addon as an alternative but i found it to be very slow on my android too. unfortunately i don't know of any other solution currently.

hello bob, the automatic execution of downloaded content was removed because of security concerns: www.androidpolice.com/2013/09/11/security-firefox-for-android-can-be-tricked-into-automatically-downloading-and-executing-malicious-code/

Also, why then does the non-beta version of Firefox Android continue to open the pdf files automatically?
