What did you have in mind? The current save/open choice seems
optimal, PDF is a
format which seems to lend itself to making that choice on a per-file
basis, so
the current action seems appropriate.
He probably has this in mind.

I don't like plugins, i prefer to work as now. clicking on a pdf page
let me choice between save the file or open it with the default acrobat
reader.
The whole point of pdf.js is that it's not exactly a plugin. With
plugins, the browser hands the file to an external process and just
reserves a space in the screen for that external process to display the
results. With pdf.js, all the rendering is done inside Gecko itself,
which supposedly makes the experience more smooth and seamless.
With that said... I'll probably end up disabling it. I much prefer
downloading PDFs than reading them online.
If you don't want to read it online, a "Right Click/Save As" is all you
need to do. I've been using PDF.js for months now on 64-bit Ubuntu
because Adobe never released a 64-bit reader for Linux. On my 32-bit
laptop, I have the Adobe plug-in, but it is only Version 9. Looks like
Adobe is no longer developing the reader for Linux, so the support for
PDF.js just makes sense.
