After update to Big Sur, Safari doesn't auto-open downloaded PDF's

As the title; After update to Big Sur, Safari doesn't auto-open downloaded PDF's.

I have tried on another user on my Mac, but it behaves the same way.
I have tried deleting the com.apple.Safari.plist file, still no success.

This used to work so smoothly, but now it's at hickup in my workflow! 🙁

Any ideas?

I just tried on a fresh installation and there it works as it should.
This means there's something effed up on my system. If anyone knows where I should look I would be grateful! 🙂

Works fine for me - Big Sur 11.2 / Safari 14.0.3

Maybe try to toggle - enable / disable in the Safari Preferences < General ?

Thanks, I have tried that as well, to no avail. 🙁

I'm having this issue as well. I *can* dl the pdf and read it outside of Safari, but I cannot read it in Safari itself.

Running any Safari Extensions that might not be Big Sur ready?

Running any Safari Extensions that might not be Big Sur ready?

The "Extensions" tab in Safari Preferences says that I have "No Extensions", so unless there are any stealth extensions in here, I'll say "No".
