Viewing PDFs inside a browser tab Topic is solved

[__NM64__]

Well derp, I forgot an important step for the method I described - in the Pale Moon options, you need to set the action for 'PDF Document' to "Use SumatraPDF Browser Plugin" like shown in the screenshot in this post: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14024#p100049

For those who still suffer without embedded PDF viewer I'd like to mention that Mozilla pdf.js seems works well as an extension. Here is current dev version 1.6.401 with disabled telemetry and Pale Moon 27+ added as target browser.

It works fine!

(But I think external viewer app is the right approach despite people's expectations.)

Thanks.

JustOff,
Thanks for the mod. It work well in Xubuntu 16.04.1 where plug-in options are limited.

As mentioned in the previous post, this is essential for Linux (in this case Linux Mint 64bit 18.1) where any sort of browser plugins are quite limited.

Apologies for the double-post, but it won't let me edit my previous post anymore.

Is there any chance of adding this extension to addons.palemoon.org?

There was a quick proof-it-works build, the add-on should be properly forked.
If someone wants to take this task, I can share what has been done.

[JustOff]

Forked as Moon PDF Viewer.

[Tar_Ni]

Forked as Moon PDF Viewer.

You truly are amazing.

Now the real question is, when will it appear on addons.palemoon.org?

[PhoxFyre]

I don't want it, just wondering, does this still work?

Pale Moon Commander should NOT be run on Pale Moon 27 until it has had an overhaul.

Also, no.. The pref that that checkbox flips doesn't exist. There is no built in PDF reader in Pale Moon 27.

Is this the first time that has been stated? I don't remember seeing it previously. Also, if that's the case, why wasn't someting implemented to automatically disable PMC.

Lastly, if I disable PMC now on 27.0.3, will that be enough? Or will that not revert the changes it has made?

[GreenGeek]

In general, having unsused prefs does not cause any problems. For example, you can't enable a PDF viewer that is not even included. There might be some exceptions, like prefs that were removed but the relevant code is still enabled. (I don't have PMC installed to test anything specific because I'd rather tinker with about:config.)
