Your efforts fail in my Firefox under Mac which is using the default setup. Your pdfs do not open within the browser (let alone a frame) but get downloaded to the "Downloads" folder. This is how *all* pdfs from every site I use are handled. I agree with you - it is far better to open within the existing window. I wonder if there is a method that would work for Firefox/Mac - I would very much prefer this.
