Firefox Adobe Plug In?
I have used an older Firefox application where, when I would click on a pdf file it would download it to my Desktop. Never really bothered me. On occasion I would clean my Desktop from all the files.

Now I downloaded the newer version of Firefox - 3.5.1 - and it seems that somehow I need to find a command to save a copy and then I open it in a preview mode, instead of Adobe which does not give the same clear appearance and cannot be enlarged to, say 150% of the size.

I vaguely remember, more than 10 years ago when I used Netscape, that I put the plug in into it..

Any suggestions?

Thanks

1. There's an add-on
Tools -> Add-ons -> Get add-ons -> Search -> PDF -> See all -> Firefox PDF plugin for Mac OS X

Or just go to:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7518

Assuming that's what you mean: it's not very clear.

2. Thanks for the link
I downloaded it but still cannot open a pdf file. A new window open and it appears like something is quickly being downloaded but the page is empty.

I will try to contact the developer of the add-on.
