what fpdf version are you using? whatever the case, just look a the output
function and check what headers it's sending out. check to make sure there
is header line for:

header('content-disposition: attachment; filename="' . $name . '"');

and that $name (or whatever variable name is used for the file name param)
is set...you also need to make sure you are passing 'D' as the $dest
(destination) param.

hth,

me
