Finally! Finally someone creates a Firefox plug-in that that takes advantage of the native PDFKit in OSX to display PDF files in Firefox. Everyone tolerates Adobe Reader on IE and Safari, but it doesn’t even work with Firefox on the Mac – leaving Mac Firefox users to chase down PDF files on their desktop every time they come across one to then open it in Preview. This process was only slightly fast than Adobe Acrobat for Safari.

Thanks to “colesbury” over on Google code for finally making what seemed so trivial a reality: Here’s hoping your implementation spurs the Mozilla foundation to integrate this feature in Firefox for the Mac.
