I noticed that the latest version of FireFox now comes with a built-in PDF viewer, so a plug in may no longer be necessary to view PDF's in FireFox. 

Here is what was noted:


Firefox for Windows, Mac and Linux introduces a built-in browser PDF viewer that allows you to read PDFs directly within the browser, making reading PDFs easier because you don’t have to download the content or read it in a plugin like Reader. For example, you can use the PDF viewer to check out a menu from your favorite restaurant, view and print concert tickets or read reports without having to interrupt your browsing experience with extra clicks or downloads.
