Pale Moon no longer able to read PDF?

Unread post by djgpp » 2021-04-13, 07:57

I remember I have to install an extension to be able to read PDF inside the browser. But today this extension disappeared. When I search with the term "pdf", the Pale Moon extension site only shows Print pages to PDF and FireShot:

https://addons.palemoon.org/search/?terms=pdf

I want to be able to read PDF without leaving the browser. Please show me where to get the extension back.

Stop. Search the forum. Don't create a million posts.

This used to work. I'm not sure if it still does.

Isn't it funny how when someone goes off their nut on some minor issue like in-browser PDF reading in a pseudo-heated discussion then other people suddenly come out of the blue and start brand new threads like something recent has changed but it hasn't.

Anyone notice that? It is almost like a coordinated group of people show up in waves over and over and over again to touch on the hot topic of the recent month. But surely that couldn't be the case. Could it?

There used to be an extension on the Pale Moon extensions site, could be MoonPDF. It explicitly stated that it doesn't work and give a link to this one above. This extension now disappeared, I can't find the extension above anymore (don't remember it name). Thank you for giving me the link.

There is already external extension like Ublock Origin Legacy. Why don't we add the extension above as another external extension? It will save people the time to search.

Because they haven't requested it.
