Restore ability to open pdf files in external app on android

[Gabbro]

A recent change to Firefox on Android means that I can no longer open pdf files in an external app directly from Firefox. When I click on a link to a pdf file it first displays in Firefox, then gives me a link to download the file. Before, opening the downloaded file would take me to the default pdf viewer on my phone, now it just opens up in a new tab in Firefox. Users should have the choice of what app to view files in.

We are re-thinking the behavior to make it easier for people to use external PDF readers if they wish.

Just out of curiosity, what features of the other app are you missing in the Firefox reader?
