Trouble with Avenue&Macbook
Okay so, whenever I try and look at something in avenue (using firefox) it automatically downloads it to my computer - there muuuust be a way to view it online like I used to on a PC but I have noo idea what setting to change to make this so!
Does anyone know how I can look at everything onnnnn avenue like I used to as opposed to downloading every-single thing?
Thanks in advance!

PDFs should load in Chrome... Chrome has it's own PDF reader. If it's not enabled it's somewhere in about :flags

Not sure if this is relevant, but when I had buggy pdf-ness, I went to options>applications and made firefox 'always ask' for adobe acrobat documents.

This issue has really nothing to do with Mac OS and everything to do with which browser you're using (regardless of the platform you run it on) and the settings for your particular installation of said browser.
