Smile Finally PDF viewing in firefox
PLease delete if already poste,d I did a quick search and couldn't find this.


THe biggest gripe I had was with Firefox not viewing PDFs. Finally someone has come up with a free solution, quartzpdf, which you can download here

firefox-mac-pdf - Google Code



Hope that helps someone out. Was a breath of fresh air for me!

Yeah it was posted before but not in it's own thread.

It was posted by chrsha01 I believe when Firefox 3 came out.

There are downsides to using that plugin, so I never use it.

Mainly the ability to save and the fact that it is blown up when you view a PDF (as per the bugs on that website).

Check out the issues before you use it full time, some might be dealbreakers:
