No. The file browser opens and in the bottom right there is a drop-down box which says HTML and if I save the file it is an HTML file. With other people's links the drop-down box in the file browser says PDF and when I download the file it is a PDF file not an HTML file. If you right

The other links are probably links to links and yours are links directly to files. Still, I don't know why that should matter. My point was not that people here cannot access your PDF files, it was a question: why can I right-click with the other links but not with yours? Yes, javascript

"from experience mastering (comfortably) a trade usually takes 10 years." Maybe, but you don't have to be a master bash script programmer to write some very effective scripts, or even to be a system administrator! Mastery is necessary if you are doing very complex things. Think of

Actually, I'm using the stock IceCat from Trisquel 7 on both my desktop and laptop and in both cases I have the problem. I just diabled LibreJS and it does not matter. With javascript enabled it works, with it not enabled it does not work. I tried with abrowser which has javascript

IceCat can display PDFs. NoScript does not block it, at least for me, and there is an option to allow/deny pdf.js. So your IceCat is probably a chilly old moggy, on its last legs and surviving on spam and old breadcrusts.

For the other links in this thread I could just right-click on the link and choose "save link as" and it saves as a pdf file. For Magic's links this did not work for me. Instead, click the link. If you use IceCat and have javascript enabled, the viewer will display the PDF and you can
