Here, for example:

on my FF, the only way to download one of this PDF would be to right or long click on one of the PDF logo.

The idea I think was that if there's PDF support in browser, browser will offers a download link aside viewing the PDF and that if there's no browser support, accessing triggers the download.

Obviously, one may want to dump many files so having a download icon would help. Additionally, mobile browsers don't expose download buttons directly (although it's available via the browser's menu).

@kelson42 would a download icon on the right work for you?

Yes, but if not supported natively by the browser it should triggers „download or open via third party app“. i guess this is what you meant.

I suspect that this second part of the comment isnthe reason why I didn‘t answered straight… because I don‘t undesrtand it. What means „dump many files“ in this context?
