way to view PDFs in Firefox? - Mr Downtown - 02-21-2010

I get tired of copying and pasting PDF links into Safari. Surely by now there must be some reliable and easy way to view PDFs in Firefox for Tiger? No?

This doesn't work?

Right click, "save link as", doesn't do it for you?

I've never found any web browser add-on that doesn't bung up at least 20% of PDF's anyway... so I quit using 'em.

But yes, there is that Firefox PDF plug-in.

No. It seems to install, but if I navigate to a PDF, after a few seconds it says "Done" in the lower left corner but the window stays blank.

Did you try it more than once? The first time I used it, the same thing happened. I thought that was strange, so I tried again. It's worked properly ever since. ???? Don't know what else to say! I use FF 3.0 and 10.4 on the computer.

I'm with Paul, download it to your hard drive and view the PDF with Preview.
