Due to some recent update of Microsoft Outlook (used in Firefox, on Ubuntu 20) there is no more download dialog for attachments. (At least I guess this has changed recently.)

When I click on download, the file is opened in the Browser immediately, at least if it is a PDF file. It seems like the download actually does a preview.

Download Button

I want to be able to open the file in a different app or just store it on my disc, but these options are gone.

Here is the attachment preferences panel: Attachment Preferences (Outlook)

Looking for help on Microsoft's website did not bring up anything helpful.

Is there anything I can do in order to change this behavior?

It sounds like you want to change how Firefox handles PDF files. If so...

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Open the hamburger menu and click on Settings
  3. Click the General panel
  4. Go down to Applications section
  5. Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and select it
  6. Click the down arrow under Action column
  7. Choose the option (eg, Always ask, or Save File) from the drop-down list.
  8. Restart Firefox
