User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Native In-Browser OSX PDF display support should be added to Firefox like Safari and Chrome The functionality can be added via the following extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdf-plugin-for-firefox-on-mac-/ However it's barely maintained. Even in the last pre-release build it will only work with Firefox in 32bit mode. Latest Pre-Release version: http://firefox-mac-pdf.s3.amazonaws.com/fx-quartz-pdf-1.2.0.xpi Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click a link to a PDF Actual Results: User is prompted to open the pdf externally in preview or adobe reader. Expected Results: Firefox opens it using OSX's native PDF viewer API in-browser. Chrome and Safari behave this way, so I don't why Firefox couldn't either. Both in 64bit mode.
