Firefox shows your PDF files

[Bleipriester]

Firefox 19 will introduce a feature called PDF JS. The Java-script based feature will show PDF files in Firefox without a PDF program like Adobe Reader. It is also included in Firefox 18, but you have to activate it:
Open about:config, search pdfjs.disabled and set this entry to false. Then search for pdfjs.previousHandler.alwaysAskBeforeHandling and set this entry o true. Done.

Users of older versions of Firefox need to install the extension PDF JS:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/pdfjs/

A Live Demo shows, how it looks like:
PDF.js viewer

mozilla/pdf.js @ GitHub

The point is he's not attacking you or what you are posting. Why do you think he is?

Cover the air vents when you sneeze........... Wash your keyboard before letting it touch anything.
