The issue seems to be twofold:

 - the link to the PDF explicitly specifies target="_blank", this is a
bad practice regardless, which assumes that the PDF file will be
rendered in the tab itself (which should eventually be the case, see bug
#1331059)

 - state saving in the browser currently remembers the last visible URL
rather than the last committed URL, this will be fixed with bug #1353143

Title:
  Browser remembers previous download and tries to visit on next start

Status in Web Browser App:
  Confirmed
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I previously opened a pdf the last time I used the web browser, now
  some days later, opening the browser for the first time today it
  spawned content hub to read the pdf which I'd previously downloaded.

  Steps to reproduce.

  1) Install pdfjs from the store to enable you to open pdf files on
  device

  2) On the device visit this page in the browser http://www.powerpc-
  notebook.org/2014/10/presentation-slides-used-at-linux-day-2014/
  (short url http://bit.ly/1u6DRQu )

  3) Click the link "download LinuxDay 2014 Milan presentation slides"
  which is http://www.powerpc-notebook.org/wp-
  content/uploads/2014/10/LinuxDay2014_Mi_presentation_pub_en.pdf (short
  url http://bit.ly/1GxC4ZX )

  4) At this point you get a content hub popup, choose pdfjs and happily
  view the pdf

  5) Time passes, reboot phone

  6) Open browser, look away for a few seconds, get a content hub
  dialog, be surprised that you don't get the browser.
