A commandline with a file:// reference will just start or switch to
Firefox in the same way that passing a URL will.  Firefox would then
perform the action as-appropriate.  So if it is given either of

  http://example.com/foo.pdf

or

  file:///path/to/foo.pdf

it will act the same, probably fetching and rendering the PDF inline.

(Although I don't know how, specifically, it loads or caches files from
remote or local sources and if it does it differently for those two
scenarios.)
