Comment (by dmsnell):

 > When going directly to the URL of a file in the media library

 I see two links, one labeled //View// (like
 `{SITE_URL}/?attachment_id=705`) and one labeled //Download// (like
 `{SITE_URL}/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/20-verbia.docx`)

 The view link redirects to the full //Download// link, and they both
 contain a `Content-type` header.

 {{{

 }}}

 In Safari and Firefox on macOS both viewed a PDF upload in the browser but
 downloaded the DOCX. Are you seeing this behavior for all files, or is
 there a specific file you are having trouble with?

 Do you have any extensions installed in Firefox that would attempt to load
 support for rendering the DOCX type? For example, I think Microsoft Office
 has a browser plugin for doing just this.
