How to open PDFs inside Firefox on Linux
I was thinking about how to open a PDF file inside Firefox on Ubuntu, like the Acrobat plugin do on Windows, but using Evince.
So I “googled” about Evince and Firefox and found it quickly in the Lâmpada Azul site. Altought it has many steps, I used only the first and it worked very well. You have only to install the mozplugger package:
sudo aptitude install mozplugger
Alright. It may works now.

This plugin is indeed nice. However, if you are using other plugins in Firefox that try and show media such as MP3/MPEG/WAV, etc. you may run into a conflict issue.
Take the safe route and use Adobe’s official plugin. That is, if you’re willing to open up to NONFOSS.
