183231bcb, to firefox

Fedi, please help me with Firefox and PDFs.

When I click on a link to a PDF, Firefox does one of three things:
a)Display the PDF in-browser, without saving it to a permanent location on my computer.
b)Open a dialogue window asking me where I want to save the PDF.
c)Download and save it in my "Downloads" folder without asking me, and then display it in-browser.

It seems to pick one of these three behaviors at random. I can't discern any pattern.

The thing is, I never ever ever ever ever want it to do (c). If I'm saving a single file on my computer I always want to select the folder manually.

In about:preferences, I scroll down to "Applications," and see I have set PDFs to "always ask." But it doesn't always ask! I've also tried changing the setting to "Open in Firefox", and I get the same result: sometimes it opens in Firefox without saving, sometimes it saves it to my downloads and then opens in Firefox, and sometimes it asks.

What's going on? Why does it switch seemingly at random between these three behaviors regardless of my setting? How do I get it to stop saving things to my Downloads folder without asking?

EDIT: Oh whoops, I forgot to put my system information.
Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1
Firefox Flatpak (currently 126, but it's been happening the same way for a long time).

183231bcb,

@dgar People from Trueway can only tell the truth, while people from Falseway can only lie.

Suppose you are traveling and you come to a fork in the road. One path leads to where you want to go, while the other leads to certain doom. At the fork are 16 people, one from each of the 16 logic gate way countries, but you can't tell which person is from which country. You can ask one question to figure out where to go. What do you say?

It's so weird that we are all supposed to be ashamed for burping and farting. I deeply apologize to everyone for keeping my body from literally exploding, so uncouth.

183231bcb,

@RickiTarr I've had students who have been so mistreated by previous teachers/schools that they think they need to apologize for needing to use the bathroom.
