"PDF Download" Plugin for Mac & Zotero PDF linking

twaring
I use PDF download for the mac, and like to view pdfs in the browser before deciding what if anything to do with them. I also frequently store PDFs in Zotero. When it comes time to view the PDF I'd like to click Zotero's "View File" and have PDF Download display it in the current window (or new tab).

I have PDF download set to Open PDF, in a new tab, using PDF plugin, and yet when I click Zotero's "view File" a copy of the stored PDF is saved to the desktop, where I have to open it manually, then delete it afterwards. This is awkward.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

    I would also like to be able to control pdf viewing behaviour from within zotero, as firefox's handling of external files is brittle, to say the least, under linux.

    Would it be possible to have a zotero pref enabling choice either of the registered plugin (if any), or a user-configurable external app?
