Is this something within Firefox? Every time
I open a PDF in a webpage, it opens and displays fine, but saves a copy

That annoyed me also. No, the download dir preference doesn't solve the
problem. That just downloads the files to some other directory where
they still have to be deleted. While I realize they need to be
downloaded somewhere, I'd like that to be "transparent" to me - done to
some temporary place that will eventually get automatically cleaned
(like the cache).

Install the Acrobat Reader plugin for Firefox. Worked for me--the PDF is
viewed from the Web site without being downloaded.
