Hello,

It's not possible. Basically, the "open in the browser" versus "download"
distinction is superficial as, once the user has viewed the PDF in the
browser it is trivial to save it using the browser's own tools—Firefox's
own PDF viewer literally has a save button.

Also, I'm against this type of attempt to limit the free flow of
information. Especially within the context of an open-source software
system that is overwhelmingly developed with the aim of building open
access repositories!

Regards,
