Chrome Tab flashes if open PDF, Chrome PDF viewer disabled and PDF associated with Chrome

Reported by bau...@gmail.com, Dec 20 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.28 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. disable Chrome PDF viewer (and can't enable it with  Issue 673920 )
2. restart chrome
3. open PDF with chrome (PDF associated with PDF, or drag'n'drop in new tab)

What is the expected behavior?
say internal PDF viewer is disable, and request to enable it.

What went wrong?
tab flashes, chrome become inusable before close this tab (difficult to close)

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.28  Channel: beta
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

by default I associate all PDF with Chrome, very fast to open PDF. If I drag'n'drop file in Chrome it's not to open it with PDF association.

Unable to reproduce the issue on win10 chrome version 56.0.2924.28 with the given steps - Observed that the pdf is downloaded as shown in the screencast

Could you please try the same with a new profile (no apps/extensions) and update the thread. You can create a new profile from chrome://settings

baudav@ - This is an intended behavior. The plugins can now be enabled and disabled in the latest canary #57.0.2970.0 by navigating to chrome://settings/content. 

The chrome pdf viewer can be enabled and disabled by following below steps:
------------
1. Navigate to chrome://settings/content.
2. Scroll down till "pdf documents section".
3. Enabling the checkbox at "open pdf files in the default pdf viewer application", will make the chrome pdf viewer disabled at chrome://plugins and vice-versa.

Attaching screen cast for reference.

baudav@ - Could you please check this issue on latest canary #57.0.2970.0 by creating a new profile without any apps and extensions and please let us know if the issue still persist or not.

same problem.. yes difficult to found this option in canary, setting are displayed in tablette mode in standard screen!

1-set to request before save 'Ask where to save each file before downloading'
2-set to use different application for PDF
3-open PDF

Pb1: Chrome save in default downloads folder WITHOUT REQUEST 
Pb2: if PDF is associated to open with Chrome, this downloaded file is open with Chrome, saved again without request and name is name(1).pdf and open another time with chrome, and saved to name(1)(1).pdf...... good loop filling the disk
