My Firefox 134.0 instance (from Mozilla website) did a nice job of showing the apparent 64-page PDF(?) inline with the rest of the HTML webpage. I don't think I've ever seen one display that way before. I'm used to receiving that popup asking where to download the file, instead. Am keeping that webpage to see how hard it is to read how they coded that feature. It's definitely the PDF because I was able to toggle the sidebar open so a user can choose a specific page. The download button is on the top right, as expected, too. Very cool layout because I hate popups that break up the reading experience. Tagging this UX for the archive.
