I don`t know what you mean in this context by "speculatively", but I do
have my Firefox always set up to NEVER open anything "special" itself.

The only files Firefox can open up without asking are images & videos.
Nothing else.
I suspect everyone does this because it`s the right thing to do.
From a safety standpoint and from a utility standpoint it is.
You only need to tell Firefox to open the correct app for each file type.
For PDF files, it will be a bona fide PDF reader or writer application.
Why deal with the limits and security implications of opening all the file
types in a web browser which can`t do the file type its proper justice.

I don`t know how to answer this last question because I only know that I
don`t want every file I`ve ever downloaded showing up in that jump list.
