Recently I want to print one of my google slides, but a window keeps popping up saying what I want to do with the slide's pdf. I just want to view it in the firefox pdf viewer, but there is no choice for that. If I select open with firefox, it will spam me with millions of tabs, and if I download it, it is way too redundant. Is there any way to get rid of that box and just open all pdf, no matter from where into firefox? Since normal pdf links work fine and opens the firefox pdf viewer, but google slides does not.

Also I just realized that the same thing happens with google docs. I really need this problem to be fixed. Thank you!

How (what contact type) does Google Docs send the file ?

You should never select Firefox as the application in a download dialog.

Basically when I press ctrl - p, it brings up a box like this (check attachment). I just want to open that pdf file in the a new firefox pdf viewer and print it from there. If I do click on the top choice however, I think it will spam me again. My goal here is to just make it automatically pop into the pdf viewer instead of having to go through this box.

Sounds that you have set Firefox as the default application for PDF files in Windows, but that you do not have enabled the builtin Firefox PDF Viewer.

Did you make sure that the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) is set to "Preview in Firefox" ?

Yes I have, but the problem still seems to happen.
