when opening a pdf outside firefox, the browser leaves behind a blank "New Tab"

more options

When opening a pdf outside firefox, the browser leaves behind a blank "New Tab". I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and did not import any settings from internet explorer. I have changed the one setting: options/applications/"Portable Document Format (PDF)" set to "Use Adobe Acrobat (default). Now when i navigate to a website that downloads a pdf, the pdf opens in a new Adobe Acrobat window outside of Firefox however, a blank "New Tab" is left behind inside the Firefox browser. I didn't notice this behavior until 48.0.2. Internet Explorer does not exhibit this behavior. You notice the new blank tab briefly appear and then goes away. Is there a setting I'm missing?

apparently Mozilla doesn't see the value in replying to their support site. Very disappointed.

Follow that Bug report to see when progress is made towards fixing it.

Doesn't appear to be a high priority since is is labeled as "polish".
