How to view pdf inside Firefox browser

[kulimer]

How does everyone view pdf in Firefox?
Seems like you have to download the pdf, then use the Preview application.
I Google through tens of pdfs, don't want to download it.

I see that there is a plugin, but I avoid installing it, because you can't NEVER uninstall a plugin(NOT add-on) once it's downloaded.

Any ideas?

You can't do this without a plugin. If you choose not to install a plugin you will have to use the download-and-view method you have described.

Thanks for the reply, finally someone replied. lol. I just find it not intuitive to have such complicated procedures. Perhaps Firefox has a point in doing this and I am not seeing it.

You can disable a plugin after you install it.

Foxit Reader is a solid pdf plugin that doesn't have all the security problems associated with Adobe Reader. Google it and you'll see it has a solid reputation.
