If you’ve recently switched to Firefox for Mac, you’re probably getting used to hearing all your problems answered with “there’s a plugin for that.” Well, here’s one more problem plugins can solve: inline PDF viewing. Safari does it automatically, and you might be missing it if you’ve switched recently.
You could always download the PDFs and open them with the notoriously slow Acrobat Reader or a faster 3rd-party app, but if you want them to open right in your browser, just grab this plugin. No frills here, the description on Google Code simply states it, “uses PDFKit to display PDFs in the browser.” We tested it out on some large PDF magazines, and it handles them just as well as Safari can.
