    $this->load->library('Mpdf_land');    
    $pdfFilePath = 'Public_Opportunities_Detail('.date('Y-m-d H:i:s').').pdf';

You could change the "D" in output function to "I" $this->mpdf_land->pdf->Output(UPLOAD_REPORT_PATH.$pdfFilePath.'', "I"); so then file should be displayed inline in browser instead of downloading it.

Or if it is only the matter of HTML output in developing and you don't need the pdf at all you can just print it. Something like print_r($htmls); exit;
