It would be great if it will be possible to open Document downloaded via Firefox or Opera in Sailfish App Documents.

Sony Xperia 10 - Sailfish 3.3.0.14

Do you mean that if yoy are using android version of firefox or opera? Install an android pdf-viewer.

I have Bromite www-browser and a pdf-viewer (mupdf mini) from F-droid. And if I click a pdf file on a web page, it opens in the pdf-viewer. Works also with pdfs shared in whattsapp.

A work around, but works.

Yes of course I can install additional PDF-Reader but its a feature request for next version - I like to use Documents for PDF-Files on my Sailfish Phone independently of the source of the pdf file...
