I am using foxit reader 2.2. Nice Product.
It may be a Firefox bug which ignored the file extension on pdf for certain=

site.
Actually, I tried again, it works on digikey web links, but not SAE.org or=

Canada post web site.

So it must be some kind of compatibility issue on firefox.

The thing I can see immediately is that sae web's pdf links have space in i=
ts=20
file name (actually on all SAE pdf file name, it has at least one space, e.=
g.=20
"sae J1115-12.pdf"),=20

Try installing Foxit for PDFs. Firefox has nothing to do with PDFs.
