Revert "Use a link, rather than window.open, when opening PDF attachments in Firefox (bug 1661259)"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 1e5d4b6a80, since it unfortunately doesn't work in all situations.

Please note that I did *successfully* test the patch in a local Firefox build, obviously with an ad blocker installed.
However, I've now tested the *latest* Nightly-build with my default profile, and unfortunately I can still reproduce the bug there!?
